FCC VHF/UHF Narrowbanding

The FCC Narrowbanding mandate goes into effect on January 1, 2013, all public safety and business industrial land mobile radio systems operating in the 150-174 MHz (VHF) and 421-512 MHz (UHF) radio bands must cease operating using 25 kHz radio systems technology, and begin operating using at least 12.5 kHz. This deadline is the result of an FCC effort that began almost two decades ago to ensure more efficient use of the spectrum and greater spectrum access for public safety and non-public safety users.

After January 1, 2013, licensees not operating at 12.5 KHz efficiency will be in violation of the Commission's rules and could be subject
to FCC enforcement action, which may include admonishment, monetary fines, or loss of license.
