- Comments about the FCC commercial license;
- >It is required to be chief operator
- >of a *broadcast* station, or for repair of marine radios.
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- This is false information the transmitter license holder is now the entity
- responsible for incorrect operation of the broadcast station.
- This was pushed by the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) because they
- did not like paying engineers wages. So now the person working on the station
- transmitter can be anyone.
-
- A license is still required for the marine service because of treatys.
-
- Another thread talked about Type Accpetance(SP?) of radios and using business
- radios for ham frequencies.
- There are several business TA radios that will work in the ham bands and still
- not violate the TA. The important consideration of the FCC is that the radio
- can only be tuned by the operator to the preset frequencies. This is why there
- are no ham radios that can be used for business, since the vfo will allow the
- operator to tune to business frequencies not preset.
-
- Some of the radios will tune 130-174 or more, and are still TA since the
- operator can only tune to the freqs programmed.
