this one is a TV station.

you would think they would follow FCC rules


I suspect that the Tv Station is operating the Radar under Part 90
SubPart F, or SubPartQ, that's where all the Weather Radars used to
operate. The FCC may have a Weather Radar Radio Serivce by now, as well.


Also, I thought when the FCC did away with needing a license for marine
VHF that included marine radar as well.


But the OP stated he wasn't using it on a Boat, therefore he can't claim
he is covered by the "Blanket License" issued by the FCC to ALL
Voluntary Equipped Vessels in non-commercial Service.

read the section
WHAT RADIO EQUIPMENT MAY I USE?

There is a proivision in Part 80 SubPart M, and SubPart N, to operate
a Marine Radar ashore, IF one qualifies for a License under those Rules.
