Backed by RCA’s industry-leading, hassle-free protection plan.
The FCC requires companies and individuals using radio frequencies listed in the Industrial/Business Pool to obtain a radio station license for these frequencies.
When you buy two-way radio equipment from us that requires FCC licensing you have three options:
If you need the radios ASAP, you can buy the software and programming cable to program your FCC licensed frequencies once approved. In this case, we will ship the radios with 4 temporary frequencies that will allow you to operate while waiting for your license.
FCC licenses expire after 10 years unless you apply for renewal within 90 days of the expiration date.
The main benefit of using FCC licensed frequencies is less interference. No one except you should be using those frequencies in the geographical area where your FCC license applies. If you find out another company or individual are using your frequency/s you can start a claim with the FCC to force those operating illegally to stop.
