The narrowbanding drop dead date is December 31, 2012. If your radio equipment is not narrowbanded by then, you’ll face some pretty hefty fines from the FCC. They’ve recently announced intentions to aggressively enforce compliance. Click here to link to the FCC website for details.
If you’re wondering whether your service is compliant, click here to use the FCC narrowband mapping tool. Try it out; you may be surprised what you learn. Christmas is coming – it’s not too late to add new radios to Santa’s list.
