Set Out Radio License For Free

The most popular types of personal radio services are Citizens Band Radio Service, Family Radio Service, General Mobile Radio Service, Low-Power Radio Service and Multi-Use Radio Service. Of these types of services, only General Mobile Radio Service requires an FCC license to operate.

Please be aware that unlicensed operation of radio broadcast stations is prohibited, even at low powers such as 1 watt or less. The only unlicensed operation that is permitted on the AM and FM broadcast bands is covered under Part 15 of the FCC's rules, and is limited to a coverage radius of approximately 200 feet.

Probably when FM broadcasting needed some spectrum, the 88 - 108 MHz was the most convenient at the time, for technological or political reasons. In North America, 88 - 108 MHz is the FM broadcast band. The use of frequency modulation for other purposes is not restricted to that band, however.

The FCC licenses FM radio and full power TV stations as either commercial or noncommercial educational (NCE). (Most AM radio stations are licensed as commercial facilities.) Class A television, low power television and television translator stations are neither designated commercial or NCE.

If you wish to conduct business with the FCC, you must first register through the FCC's COmmission REgistration System (CORES). Upon registration, you will be assigned a FCC Registration Number (FRN). This number will be used to uniquely identify you in all transactions with the FCC.

Why is it illegal to broadcast below 88.1 MHz? The section below is meant for TV stations and the Radio Waves could interfere with TV waves.
