Larry F:
Right your are. Wish I had checked before shooting off my mouth.
Here's what I found on the FCC site:
Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit (RR)
*Description*
RR holders are authorized to operate most aircraft and aeronautical
ground stations. They can also operate marine radiotelephone stations
aboard pleasure craft (other than those carrying more than six
passengers for hire on the Great Lakes or bays or tidewaters or in the
open sea) when operator licensing is required.
An RR is*NOT*needed to operate the following:
* Ship stations operating only on VHF frequencies that do not travel
to foreign ports or make international communications (unless the
vessel carries more than six passengers for hire, or the ship is
larger than 300 gross tons and is required by law to carry a radio
station for safety purposes).
* Shore radar, shore radiolocation, maritime support, marine utility,
or shore radionavigation stations.
* Survival craft stations or EPIRBs.
* Ship radar stations, if (a) the radar frequency is determined by a
nontunable, pulse type magnetron or other fixed tune device, and (b)
the radar is capable of being operated exclusively by external controls.
* Coast stations.
* /*Aircraft stations which operate only on VHF frequencies **and do
not make foreign flights.*/
* /*Aircraft radar sets, radio altimeters, transponders or other
aircraft automatic radionavigation transmitters.*/
* /*ELTs or aviation survival craft stations used solely for survival
purposes (testing only).*/
*
*Maybe I was reading about Airline pilots doing international flights*.**
