Who is eligibile for this type of license...

These licenses are in the FCC's Industrial/Business Pool. Eligibility is open to schools that are publicly funded. A license covers the entire organization and all it's members/ employees.

Did you know, a single frequency can be used across many channels. Through the use of privacy codes (also called CTCSS codes, PL tones, or DCS) these sub-audible tones create unique talk-paths on each channel - even when using just one frequency!

Licensing Terms
The price includes all FCC fees, which we pay on your behalf.  Because of this, once we receive your completed questionnaire a refund cannot be provided. All licenses are granted at the discretion of the FCC.
