I've been a ham for about 20 years and an avid scanner listener since I was a little kid, but I'm comparatively in the dark on Part 90 stuff.
I'd like to set up a small trunked system, private carrier, for resale to "eligibles" as people seem to like to say in the licenses. I have a site in mind and a firm grasp on the technology involved. (I'd set up a small Capacity Plus system, which, like LTR, doesn't seem to require the FB8 licenses.)
How do I actually go about licensing all this, though? Do I contact a coordinator and let them handle the process? Or can I file myself and just get the coordinator to sign off on the frequencies? Within a band, do I select the frequencies and let the coordinator/FCC approve them, or does the coordinator suggest the frequencies?
It seems like there are a zillion forum posts on the technology, but next to nothing online discussing the actual licensing process. Is there some book or site that goes into good detail on this?
