How can you coordinate a channel or channels that are good for use nationwide? Been there and done that. Used LAO because my company was paying for it.
You can phone them in Gettysburg and ask questions; they're still there. Do some reverse engineering. The search results returns file numbers for each application. You can look at them and see how they filled out their s. I don't know what the coordination reqirements are but I looked a a few applications and they all had the frequency coordinator listed on the "Service Specific" tab. Last edited: Jun 14, Coordination is not required, however the coordinators will be happy to take your money if you ask them.
Here is a link to a an itinerant that was issused earlier this year as a new license and if you look at the application you will see the coordinator is blank. Users should be aware that no interference protection is provided from other itinerant operations. Full power itinerent Frequencies: - you would need to choose an area of operation : ie citywide, countywide, statewide, or nationwide. Only mobile operations will be authorized on Group C frequencies.
Stations may operate at fixed locations for a temporary period of time. No stations operating at a permanent fixed location will be authorized on Group C frequencies. Stations operating at fixed locations for a temporary period of time will be limited to an antenna height of 7 meters 20 feet above ground. The biggest thing you need to remember about using unlicensed itinerent frequency's are: A that you will have cochannel operations B 6 watts max for mobiles and 2 watts max for portables.
If you license itinerent frequency's, then you can go 10 watts for mobiles and 4 watts for portables. Any coordinator group can do this for you. Mtnrider Member. I have a Itinerant license and Have repeaters,bases mobiles licensed a lot higher power than 10 watts and only got the license a few years ago.
Theres Highband,low band and UHF freqs available. The license i have is a mix of high and uhf and i have a new list of prices it will cost Many national or regional retail store chains and many other businesses have licenses for nationwide use of 2 watt hand held radios on the "star" frequencies This is because in the past, businesses and other organizations could obtain GMRS licenses and some radios were sold with color coded GMRS channels for business use. Some of the frequencies in the tables and lists below are restricted to itinerant use and some have different transmit power restrictions.
There are other frequencies in the MHz band that are restricted to low power operations in certain areas. See the links below the table and at the bottom of this page for detailed information. Some Motorola hand held business radios have factory preset channels. What sort of ERP is permitted on itinerant VHF low frequencies, and would licensing 10 mobiles for Missouri and adjoining states be reasonable? Several members already have GMRS licenses as well. Joined Dec 22, Messages 4, I have researched this and am considering getting such a license for my operations.
High power is probably permitted as the only limitations are the ones listed below; I don't think there is any coordination required, thus there would only be a license fee. If you have a legit organization or business, the FCC will issue a license.
The only problem is with the mobile antenna and the radio bandwidth. For example a Motorola Syntor X radio will tune all of these frequencies but there is no single antenna that will do all.
You can actually combine two antennas using a phasing cable and capture two frequencies, maybe you can add a third. But then the vehicle would be bristling with low band antennas. I looked into some antenna tuner options, but at watts, the solution would be a custom one. Most radios do not tune MHz, rather they are built to sub bands. I would not use the GMRS frequencies for this because it is likely illegal.

Those Pyramid extenders look like a great option. They've got some older narrowband-capable Kenwoods, so that will be just a codeplug away.
The Pyramid units will do well, but they are usually only 2 watts, so don't expect a lot of coverage out of them. Joined Aug 6, Messages 1, Location Indiana. I could find very little information about setting up the radios, about the appropriate frequencies to use, or about FCC licensing in either the equipment manuals or on equipment supplier websites. We at US Survey Supply are willing to help our customers setup their equipment but it is the responsibility of the customer to obtain the license with approved frequencies.
There are companies that will help for a fee with the license application process. I had been told that the licensing process was difficult but decided that I should at least try and do it myself.
Most of the information you need for the application is obvious. However, the license application is for a wide variety of license types. There were several questions on the application where the answers were not obvious or easily found within the FCC website. Here are areas where I had problems:. Even though I had passed the review process, it was apparent, that I did not understand some of the questions and responses in the application.
During my research to find answers for the application I had discovered that there were companies that would help you get your license, for an additional fee. FIT is a non-profit organization and one of their services is to assist companies and individuals to obtain an FCC license. He was very willing to answer all my questions and, consequently, give me all the information I needed to correctly fill out the FCC application. The following are a few key issues that we discussed:.
At this point in the conversation I became a little confused by these last two points. Land surveying was not a fixed base operation. I know of several companies and individuals that operate in several states and in many large urban regions. This appeared to me to be an unreasonable and unrealistic requirement.
