Marine VHF Coast Station (USA)

It's my understanding that cross band communications between Amateur Radio stations (non-type accepted) and Marine (type accepted) stations is not allowed. Well not exactly true. A Licenced Amateur may use any Marine Radio to transmit on Part 97 frequencies that his License allows. Modifying a Marine Radio to transmit on frequencies outside those allowed under Part 80, may, or may not, violate the Type Acceptance for that Radio, depending on just what is done to the radio to open it up. Radios such as the SEA MF/HF Marine models, that have a "Test Mode" that is not documented in the User Manual, but is documented for Service Tech's, and can be activated from the Front Panel, without any modifacation to the circuits, under the covers, would be legal to use on Ham Bands, by Licensed Amateur Radio Operators. If one has to take the covers off the radio and cut a diode or solder bridge a trace, this would violate the Type Acceptance of the radio and isn't allowed, EXCEPT if it is done by the OEM, at the Factory. Non-Type Accepted equipment may NOT be used on Part 80 Frequencies, EXCEPT when Safety of Life or Property Commincations are being passed. In an emergency, any means of communications is allowed. Is this not correct? Only an Advanced Class. To lazy to pass the test again. Couldn't do the 20 wpm part. KJ5DL Bruce in alaska also an Advanced Class, for many, many, years..... -- add a 2 before @ |
