Latest FCC order on narrowbanding

From Jason Moses, Interoperable Communications Coordinator, KS Adjutant General's Department ----The latest FCC order regarding narrowbanding has been placed on the KSAPCO Website. In summary, the order stipulates the following: 1) The end date for manufacture/import of 25 kHz capable radios is extended from 1/1/2011 to 1/1/2013.
2) Changes or modifications to existing 25 kHz licenses will not be granted after 1/1/2011 as originally planned
3) NEW products cannot be type accepted with a 25 kHz mode after 1/1/2011.
4) Date for completion of the 12.5 kHz migration remains 1/1/2013.
Essentially, the FCC is allowing existing 25 kHz licensees to maintain 25 kHz systems until 2013 but they do not want any expansion or enhancement of those networks unless they narrowband.
