Subscribing to a trunked network?

Post by poser »

How does one get around to subscribing to a trunked network? (Who are the network operators that do this, etc?)
Thanks!

1. Your local two-way shop, or...
2. The yellow pages of your phone book, usually under
"Radio Communications and Services."

no, generally if you are a legitimate paying subscriber to the trunking system provider, you are covered under their system operator license.

a good example of this is Nextel, which is a part 90 ESMR trunking system. By being a paid subscriber, you are operating under their part 90 license and don't need your own, so long as you operate within their terms and conditions and pay your bill.
