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.
Review the entire order at www.ksapco.net.
