Frequency Registration Help

Post by PhillyPhoto »

I'm looking to register a frequency and I'm wondering if someone can point me to in the right direction. I've looked around the FCC site, and can't really find what I'm looking for. It'll be UHF 450 band.

Also, I heard you can register your frequency in a day, if anyone can shed some light on this I'd appreciate it.

For a commercial FCC license,
I believe that the only way to get a definite, predefined
frequency assignment is to request one or more itinerant
channels. If it's not an itinerant channel you're seeking
then the process is approximately as follows:

1. Send in application to FCC.
2. Get frequency coordination done, which means a search is
made for a frequency in your area that hopefully won't
interfere too much with other people and vice-versa.
3. License is granted.

If you just want itinerant assignment(s) then the
frequency coordination is not required.

Regardless of what you're looking for, it will take at least
several weeks to go through the whole drill, even if you're
using a facilitator who will do the work for you for a fee.
There are several companies who do this. One of them is
Licensing Assistance Office, Gettysburg PA and they have
a website.
