Hi all,
I am in the process of filing an application for Part 90 Itinerant Frequencies for our local CERT Team. I'm using itinerants because we move from site to site depending on our mission(s).
However, I have a few questions before I spend the money only to have the application rejected due to an error I may make, so I figured I would ask for advice first.
I have 3 questions really, and they are as follows.
1) I'm asking for frequencies found on the RR Itinerant article in the wiki, located here, but am confused by the footnotes. (See attached image - RR Itinerant.) For example, 151.625 list (5) and 151.7 list (3) and (5). According to the notes 151.7 is allowed up to 35 watts. What would be the max power on 151.625 as it only says (5): Itinerant use only? Would this rating be the same for say, 151.505, or 151.5125?
2) If I am going to be using portables, I have listed them as follows (example):
Freq: 151.700, Station Class MOI, No. of Units X, Output Power 5 and ERP 5 with Emissions of 11K2F3E, 7K60FXE as we will probably migrate to DMR and I'd rather have it listed already. Thinking of 7K60FXD as well for DMR text messaging on MotoTrbo.
My question here is, if I also plan on having a mobile radio (in our trailer) that will occasionally use the frequency it is more than 5 watts. Would I need to list the frequency a second time as 35 watts on the application, or only list it once for 35 and have that cover the portables as well? Can a mobile be considered itinerant?
3) I currently have listed number of units as 100. We don't have that many currently but will probably very soon. Can I go ahead and list more than we are using to cover expansion, or do I have to wait and then edit the license for more?
I greatly appreciate any advice you can give on this. I'm trying to do this myself to save the money of having to go to the "experts" since its for itinerant only. From what I've read itinerant frequencies do not require coordination.
Thank you again for your help!
