FCC Issues Narrow-banding Reminder

[brey1234]

Various industry sources have estimated that 20-35% of affected licensees will not be in compliance with the FCC's narrowband mandate, which becomes effective on Jan. 1, as the agency reminded in a public notice issued on Friday. Haller said that he does not have data regarding the number of potential licensees that will not meet the narrowbanding mandate, but he said the 20-35% estimate is probably "not a bad guess."

I assume by "below 512 MHz" this does not include 25-50 MHz and 72-76 MHz.

I posted the PDF of this, as received from FCC, last week. Guess the moderator didn't want to approve my post.

Actually, it's below 470 MHz, given the narrowband waiver issued by the FCC in April. You'd think they would get that detail right in an article like this. To answer your question, nothing below 150 MHz is affected by the narrowband mandate.
