Be prepared for when the FCC Narrowbanding mandate goes into effect. Nationwide licensees operating on 25 kHz radios systems will soon need to operate using 12.5 kHz efficiency channels.
Don't be overwhelmed by FCC rules and regulations. TRN Communication can help to keep your FCC licenses in order.

What is the FCC?

The Federal Communications Commission is an independent United States government agency.
The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934, and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable.
The FCC's jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. possessions.

Are there penalties for using radios without an FCC license?

Yes. The FCC established fines of $8,000 per day for unlicensed and/or improperly licensed radio systems. There are various other fines that can also be charged.

Who is required to have a FCC license?

Almost all commercial or public entity radios need to be licensed. Unless you are a subscriber on a communications service UHF or Community Repeater System, you are required to hold an FCC license for your commercial or public radios. Basically, anything over 0 .5 watt of power needs to have an FCC license.
