FCC Licensing Support

Practical FCC licensing support for commercial radio systems.

Commercial radio programming and system changes should be based on the organization's actual authorization. We can help review the technical details and work with qualified frequency coordinators when required.

Understand what the license actually authorizes

An FCC license contains more than a call sign. Frequencies, locations, station classes, emission designators, mobile counts and other details can affect how a system may be operated.

We can help review

  • Licensed frequencies
  • Fixed and mobile operating authority
  • Station classes
  • Emission designators
  • Analog and digital operating modes
  • Repeater input and output arrangements
  • Construction or modification questions
  • Whether formal frequency coordination is required
Frequency coordinationWhen an application requires certified frequency coordination, we can help assemble the technical information and work with an appropriate certified coordinator rather than representing ordinary service work as formal coordination.

Why this matters before programming

A radio can often be technically programmed for frequencies that the customer is not authorized to use. We prefer to identify that issue before placing equipment into service.
