1.3 Radio 
licenses 
1.3.1 
Ship station license 
When your craft is equipped with a VHF FM transceiver, you must have 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 which is your craft’s 
identification for radio purposes. 
 
1.3.2 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. 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.
