The Nautico operates on VHF Marine Radio Service frequencies, in compliance
with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements. Recreational
boaters are not currently required to have a Ship Radio License. The USCG
recommends that the boat’s registration number and state be used for the radio
call sign.

FCC License

A ship station license is not required for any vessel traveling in U.S. waters which
is under 20 meters in length. However, any vessel required to carry an HF SSB
radiotelephone or marine satellite terminal is required to have a ship station
license. FCC license forms can be downloaded at www.fcc.gov/forms. You may
also obtain a form from the FCC by calling [phone].
