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.

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.
