Specifically, Beaverhead and Granite seek to use Part 80 private coast station frequencies and Silverbow seeks to use Part 80 maritime VHF frequencies as a part of a wireless communications system that is vital to the public safety governmental operations of the applicants. Accordingly, the Counties filed requests for waiver of Sections 80.105, 80.106, 80.123, 80.203, 80.213, 80.371, and 80.373, and such other sections of Part 80, as may be necessary. Beaverhead's application seeks to modify its license for Station KLV872 by adding one frequency designated for ship and private coast station use under Part 80 at two locations.

On the other hand, we agree with Maritel insofar as it contends that unattended operation of non-DSC equipment is permissible for VPC stations that are exempt from the Channel 16 watch. Distress Frequency Signals Background. In the FNPRM, the Commission invited comment on a USCG proposal to amend section 80.203 of the Commission's rules to prohibit the inclusion in ship stations of any device capable of transmitting on a distress frequency any signal that is not specifically authorized in the rules. The Commission noted, however, that the Communications Act is very permissive about distress signals, and that the effect of this proposal on the ability of manufacturers to add tone

The Commission also noted that some additional changes to the Part 80 Rules may be warranted as ``housekeeping'' measures, and requested comment on several specific proposals. We address these matters below. In the following section, Section IV.H., we adopt additional housekeeping amendments to Part 80. Remote Control Programming of Transmitters. Section 80.203(b)(3) of the Commission's Rules requires that the programming of (non-preprogrammed) channels in maritime radio transmitters ``be performed only by a person holding a first or second class radiotelegraph operator's certificate or a general radiotelephone operator's license'' using specified procedures. Globe Wireless suggests that Section 80.203(b)(3) be eliminated because it does not reflect the reality that transmitters today may be programmed

  • which in context clearly refers to those same ``land units,'' i.e., end-user equipment. We conclude, therefore, that Section 80.123(d) requires that base station equipment be certified under Part 80. We take this opportunity to clarify that mobile units certified under Parts 22 or 90 are permitted to operate in conjunction with base station equipment certified under Part 80. Although Section 80.203(b) of the Rules proscribes the certification under Part 80 of transmitters that can be programmed using external controls to operate on channels not authorized for maritime use (such as channels allocated for Part 22 or Part 90 use), a mobile unit certified under Part 22 or Part 90 may also be certified under Part 80, for land mobile use pursuant
