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!

Can EWA help me with the narrowbanding of my licenses?

EWA has developed these worksheets that you can complete and submit for EWA to modify your licenses, whether they are industrial/business or public safety. The FCC mandate deadline date to migrate to narrowband was January 1, 2013. EWA has worked with Motorola to develop the form that modifies a license for it to either add or change the current emission to the MotoTrbo emissions.EWA will complete the coordination and take care of all of the Motorola direct deduct co-op paperwork.
