Looks like we have to replace our "older" radios with this new regulation for class D, DSC radios. Thought I was almost ready for the water!

Last I had read you did not have to replace existing radios, but if you buy a new one it has to be DSC. Not like you would have a choice since all new radios are DSC.2007 Kingfisher 2825 - Stor Fisk

yes, that is the case in canada as well!...at present, NON- PLEASURE vessels over 8 meters and over 6 passerngers are required since 2003(?)!.....i dont think you can buy a "new" radio without the DCS feature on it?......so, in canada at least, we "pleasure boats" are so far grandfathered and have a ways to go before we "have" to buy the newer type!!...larrysigpic

Free Country? phooey! We live in a society of control freaks. There is so much authority these days that its really hard to respect it and not resent it. I have a sneaking hunch that since the Coast Guard changed agencies (DOT to Homeland security) we're gonna see more and more "rules"sigpic

The following notice is from the United States Coast Guard regarding federal regulations covering the manufacture and sale of VHF Marine Band radios and their qualification for digital selective calling (DSC) operation:
--NOTICE FROM USCG WEBSITE---
[Manufacture], importation, sale or installation of RTCM SC101 radios prohibited on March 25, 2011.
The Federal Communications Commission has prohibited the [manufacture], importation, sale or installation of non-portable DSC-equipped radios that do not meet either ITU-R Rec. M.493-11 or IEC 62238 Class D standards effective March 25, 2011. This regulation effectively bans the sale of radios built to the RTCM SC101 standard on that date. A similar prohibition will apply to portable radios effective March 25, 2015 . See 47 CFR 80.225(a)(4).

Originally posted by skydiver View PostThat's the way I'm interpreting it, too. Is that's the case, then you can keep your non-DSC radio or purchase a non-DSC radio from an individual. Probably similar to auto manufacturers having to all start installing anti-lock brakes (assuming that's the case). Not a bad thing in my opinion.Originally posted by northwestalska... you can’t tell stories about the adventures you wished you had done!
