Jack you are not correct. A third Class is for the person
and it is good for any radio use. I had to have one when I
was on a Police Dept. before I could use either the station
radio or the radios in the patrol cars and it go where ever
I go. All it is is a license that says you are familial with
the rules on talking on a radio as to language as to what
you can say and what you can not.

not involve any
exam.
The license covers vhf, hf, gmdss and radars with no
description of
equipments required. It will include applying for an
MMSI to be used
internationally.

Again, jackie is extending information that he doesn't
understand.......

HEY JACK, How about you "GET A CLUE before you confuse
folks with your
uninformed information.

First: A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is
for a PERSON
not a vessel. It is an "OPERATORs" and a vessel
can't be
an operator.

I know that Bruce. I mentioned the "vessel" because it is
for the owner of A
VESSEL, and cannot be transferred or used when the licensee
goes to another
vessel. So it is "for life" only if it remains ON THAT
VESSEL. Please grow
up or go back to your barstool.



Second: A US Flagged vessel, if it is to operate outside
US Territorial
Waters, AND communicate with non-US Coast
Stations, must have
a valid Ship Radio Station License issued by the
FCC.


Here you go mixing up licenses again, forgetting the title
and topic of this
newsgroup is RECREATIONAL boating. Only a Restricted
Operators permit is
required for a recreational boater who wants to visit a
foreign port. His
boat can remain "covered by the rule" which means no station
license for
VHF-only, and the ROP covers his carriage of the radio,
whether he uses it
OR NOT, in a foreign port.




Third: If, and only if, the vessel has fitted, only VHF
Radios and,
or, a Marine S or Xband Radar, and does not
communicated with
non-US Coast Stations, it MAY be covered by the
Blanket License
issued by the FCC, which covers all such vessels
in perpituity,
and does not require any action on the owners, or
operators
parts as far as licensing is concerened.

That's called being "covered by the rule" and does not
permit a vessel to
dock in a foreign port, which is why it's another of your
useless comments
that serves only the interests of your strange ego.

Now that we got that straight....... Carry on.......


Bruce in alaska who wishes that USCG would refrain
from distributing
uninformed information.......

"Straight" is a concept difficult to apply to your posts.

The information I posted is current, accurate, and applies
to the questions
posted by Wayne B. The rules have changed since the time
you claimed to
have once been a field-rep for the FCC. Try to remember the
"recreational"
concept of the newsgroup, please.
