What is the FCC?
The Federal Communications Commission is an
independent United States government agency.
The FCC was established by the
Communications Act of 1934, and is charged
with regulating interstate and international
communications by radio, television, wire,
satellite and cable. The FCC's jurisdiction
covers the 50 states, the District of
Columbia and U.S. possessions.
Are there penalties for using radios without
an FCC license?
Yes. The FCC established fines of $8,000 per
day for unlicensed and/or improperly
licensed radio systems. There are various
other fines that can also be charged.
Who is required to have a FCC license?
Almost all commercial or public entity
radios need to be licensed. Unless you are a
subscriber on a communications service UHF
LTR or Community Repeater System, you are
required to hold an FCC license for your
commercial or public radios. Basically,
anything over 1 watt of power needs to have
an FCC license.
