Obviously, he didn't purchase it in the US.
And, if he has a ship license, he can be fined $10,000/day/occurance for
using it, as it is not FCC type accepted or approved on a US flag vessel,
under FCC jurisdiction.
I'm sure even someone who owns a 55' yacht can be impressed by a

because of his arrogant, ignorant behavior.
Boaters all think USCG is the law on the radio. They are not. FCC is the
law. Ask Bruce. It was his job for years.
