Which commercial radio operator license is required to operate a fixed-tuned ship RADAR station with external controls?
• FCC commercial radio operator licenses for ship stations • Difference between simple marine VHF operation and radar with external controls • When a Ship RADAR Endorsement is specifically needed
• What makes a fixed-tuned ship RADAR with external controls more complex than ordinary VHF operation? • Which type of FCC license is tied to higher‑power / specialized transmitting equipment rather than just basic voice communication? • Look at which options mention permits vs. higher commercial licenses vs. endorsements—which category usually covers radar?!
• Verify which FCC license class is explicitly associated with ship radar operation in FCC rules (47 CFR Part 13). • Check whether a basic Marine Radio Operator Permit is sufficient for operating radar equipment with external controls. • Confirm if a Ship RADAR Endorsement is an add‑on to another license type or a separate operator class.
