5 

• Read all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities and keep an up-
to-date copy handy. Safety and distress calls take priority over all 
others. 
• You must monitor Channel 16 when you are not operating on 
another channel. 
• False or fraudulent distress calls are prohibited under law. 
 

• Information overheard but not intended for you cannot lawfully be 
used in any way. 
• Indecent or profane language is forbidden. 
 

When your craft is equipped with a VHF FM transceiver you must be 
in possession of a current radio station license before using the 
transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship station which is not 
licensed. Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate government 
agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license. This license includes the 
call sign that is your craft’s identification for radio purposes. 
 

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. The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must 
be posted near the transceiver or be kept with the operator. 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.
