VHF Handheld- do you need a license?

03-10-2011, 08:23 AM

The FCC website is complete doublespeak goobledgook and confusing to the point I don't have a clue if I need a FCC restricted license to operate a handheld VHF radio-
Question- Do I?

No you don't, not on a recreational vessel. I think it is only on boats over 65 ft, that needs a license, and ships, for a ship station.
