Does this change effect our club radios?
On January 1, 2013, all public safety and business industrial land mobile
radio systems operating in the 150-512 MHz radio bands must cease operating
using 25 kHz efficiency technology, and begin operating using at least 12.5
kHz efficiency technology. This deadline is the result of an FCC effort
that began almost two decades ago to ensure more efficient use of the
spectrum and greater spectrum access for public safety and non-public
safety users. Migration to 12.5 kHz efficiency technology will allow the
creation of additional channel capacity within the same radio spectrum, and
support more users.****
After January 1, 2013, licensees not operating at 12.5 KHz efficiency will
be in violation of the Commission's rules and could be subject to FCC
enforcement action, which may include admonishment, monetary fines, or loss
of license.
