Radio licenses D
(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE
You may require a current radio station license before using
the transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship station which
is not licensed, but required to be.
If required, contact your dealer or the appropriate
government agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license
application. This government-issued license states the call
sign which is your craft’s identification for radio purposes.
(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE
A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license
most often held by small vessel radio operators when a
radio is not required for safety purposes.
If required, the Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit
must be posted or kept with the operator. If required, only a
licensed radio operator may operate a transceiver.
However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a
transceiver if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends
the call and makes the necessary log entries.
A current copy of the applicable government rules and
regulations is only required to be on hand for vessels in
which a radio telephone is compulsory. However, even
if you are not required to have these on hand it is your
responsibility to be thoroughly acquainted with all pertinent
rules and regulations.
NOTE: Even though the IC-M25/IC-M25EURO is capable
of operation on VHF marine channels 3, 21, 23, 61,
64, 81, 82 and 83, according to FCC regulations these
simplex channels cannot be lawfully used by the general
population in USA waters.
