How do I remove wideband emission designators from my license?

If you have a current license that lists a non-compliant emission designator – 20K0F3E, 20K0F1D, 20K0F2D or 16K0F3E – you can either remove it from your license now, or wait until your license is due for renewal at the FCC or when you next modify your license. Of course, if your license lists only one or more of these non-compliant emission designators, the license should be immediately modified to reflect the use of an FCC narrowband compliant emission designator under which your radio system is operating. In that event, contact EWA for licensing assistance now!

While not mandatory, you may remove an emission designator prior to license renewal directly on the FCC’s Universal Licensing System (ULS). You need to log on using your FRN and password, select the appropriate call sign and initiate an application for modification. Questions pertaining to fee exemptions and attachments must be answered as “yes”, and you must upload an attachment stating that the application is exempt from fees in accordance with §1.1116(a) of the FCC’s rules. When removing non-compliant emission designators, the designators must be deleted from each separate location and frequency where it is listed. Deleting non-compliant wideband emission designators at time of renewal follows a similar process, but there are no attachments regarding fee exemptions as a $215 renewal fee is required unless the licensee is an exempt government or public safety entity. Renewal applications filed without removing non-compliant emission designators will be automatically returned or dismissed by the FCC.

To be sure, contact your EWA Spectrum Solutions advisor for assistance, call us at 800.482.8282, or contact us via the contact page.
