Whoops... I goofed, a little. ARRL doesn't issue CEPT certificates, they are automatic by carrying your passport, a current copy of your US license, *AND* a copy of the CEPT agreement.
It's the IARP permits that ARRL issues. I needed one of those for my trip on a Panamanian registered cruise ship. The IARP's are issued thru ARRL and cost $20. CEPT are free and do not require submitting paperwork to anyone, making them very painless. :) 73, Randy WF5X On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 10:21 AM, Randy Love <[email protected]> wrote: > Lynn, > > Garmin is your only source for Nuvi maps.
