FCC Narrow banding
The Federal communications Commission has mandated that by January 1, 2012 all UHF and VHF radio systems must begin using 12.5MHz technology in all systems. This rule change was made to create better spectral efficiency for both Public safety and Private users.Radio transceivers build prior to 1997 may not have the capability to meet the narrow banding specifications. New London Technology, Inc. can assist you in all compliance needs from retuning existing infrastructure to replacing non-compliant equipment with either “Factory new”or reconditioned products.
