FCC Public Notice: “Wideband Only” Licenses Will Not be Renewed
Since the FCC narrowbanding requirement went into effect on Jan 1, 2013, all VHF and UHF Industrial Business and Public Safety licenses are required to operate on channels of 12.5 kHz or less. Accordingly, wideband-only operation absent a waiver is no longer permitted. Beginning April 1st, 2014, the FCC will dismiss applications to renew VHF and UHF licenses that list only wideband emission designators unless it satisfies the exempt criteria.
