FCC Narrowbanding Compliance
Motorola radios capable of 12.5 kHz efficiency
Are your radio system and subscribers ready for Narrowbanding?
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is mandating all public safety and industrial/business licensees convert existing 25 kHz radio systems to minimum narrowband 12.5 kHz efficiency technology by January 1, 2013. The purpose of the narrowband mandate is to promote more efficient use of the VHF and UHF land mobile frequency bands.
Who is affected?
All land mobile Part 90, 25 kHz efficiency systems operating on VHF (150-174 MHz) and UHF (421-512 MHz) frequency bands.
How can you identify if your radio is 12.5 kHz efficiency capable?

COMPLIANCE GUIDE
This table is intended for informational purposes only and is to be used as an aid to help manage the transition into 12.5 kHz mode of operation. Please note every effort has been made to ensure that the enclosed information is accurate; however, in the event of an error, the channel bandwidth mode accessed via the Customer Programming Software (CPS) or Radio Service Software (RSS) shall be controlling.
In order to transition to 12.5 kHz mode of operation it is necessary to have the ability to access the radio codeplug via CPS or RSS. Some of the CPS or RSS and programming cables or service tools may not be available or support may have been discontinued. In that case, the radio model shown as 12.5 kHz capable gets superseded by the lack of access to the codeplug thus preventing the radio migration to 12.5 kHz mode of operation.
