Service Description
If you wish to participate in the mobile marine radio service, you must have a valid radio certificate. The restricted radio operator's certificate (SRC) entitles you to participate in VHF radio. To obtain it, you must pass an examination.
You need a valid radio certificate to participate in the mobile maritime radio service or inland navigation radio service.
There are two types of radio certificates for the maritime radio service:
- The general radio operator's certificate, also known as the Long Range Certificate (LRC), entitles you to participate in VHF, border and short wave as well as the mobile maritime radio service via satellite, which also works on the high seas.
- The restricted radio operator's certificate, also known as the Short Range Certificate (SRC), only entitles you to participate in VHF marine radio, which is only sufficient near the coast.
To obtain the restricted radio operator's certificate (SRC), you must pass a theory and practical examination. You must apply in writing or online for admission to the examination and subsequent issue or initial issue of the SRC.
The SRC is issued by examination boards of the Deutscher Motoryachtverband e.V. and the Deutscher Segler-Verband e.V. and is issued as a national certificate of the Federal Republic of Germany.
