Radio station license re-application?

[Mike Noel]

I'm a bit confused about if I need to re-apply for the radio station license
after purchasing an airplane that already has one in-force. Do I need to
re-license the radios with the FCC?

Short answer - no. Legally, this is still required if you take the plane
outside the U.S., but Canada and the islands don't seem to be checking for
it. Mexico might be - anyone know?

Anyway, stay in the States, and you don't need it.

No "seem" about it. Canada, Mexico and the Bahamas do not check for radio
licenses.

Mexico doesn't check anymore.

I think I've heard about some anal Customs (U.S.) guys at various border
points checking for it, though. No, they aren't FCC, but they can make
things very difficult. As in, confiscate your wings...
