Marine VHF Radio for Truck

Now that is a real can of worms. In the US there is an overriding FEDERAL law that allows licensed ham radio operators to have scanning receivers as part of their transceivers in vehicles. Irrelevant; we weren't talking about amateurs or scanners. The question was about VHF marine radios. There are state and local laws prohibiting the presence of scanners and other receivers that are not licensed. Not everywhere, and not all the laws are the same. All those laws pertain to specific bands, e.g. radar detectors, public emergency frequencies, cell frequencies, etc. None of them apply to the VHF marine band. So the answer is both yes, having a scanner or marine radio in his truck would be legal, and no it is not. Depends upon exactly where he is. Geoff. Nope, as long as it is as the question as stated, i.e. VHF marine. Here's a site with details and links to the actual laws and regulations: http://www.afn.org/~afn09444/scanlaws/ -- Jim Pennino |
