FCC Licensing
The proper licensing and use of radio frequency spectrum is critical to the success of any communications system. Companies desiring to operate on industrial/business frequencies are required to obtain a radio station license for these frequencies, which is good for 10 years. The FCC does issue fines for non-compliance, but we can help you avoid that. Click here to request a quote for your license. We’ll need to know how many radios you’ll be using and the output power of each.
A new 10 year FCC license includes our processing fee, FCC frequency coordination, FCC filing fees and Height Above Average Terrain (HAAT) calculations. The frequency ranges available are:
- Low-Band 27-73 MHz and

FAQs
How much is the average handheld radio repair?
Repairs average about $114 to $136 per radio depending on what needs to be replaced. That cost does not include a new battery if needed. By turning in a radio for repair, you are pre-authorizing the repair cost up to $175. If the estimate exceeds $175, we will call you to see if you want to move forward with the repair or just buy a new replacement radio. Please see our repair page for more info.
