On January 13, the FCC released DA 16-36 providing further guidance on narrowbanding below 470 MHz. The FCC is taking new steps to ensure licensees comply with their narrowbanding mandate that was implemented over three years ago. In addition to substantial fines, the FCC, beginning on February 16, will dismiss all license renewal applications that list only wideband emission designators.
With the risk of substantial fines and applications being dismissed, APCO strongly urges you to check your license(s) to ensure you are narrowband compliant. If you are unsure whether or not your license(s) needs to be narrowbanded, please contact Katherine Reynolds in APCO's Licensing Department.
