frequencies, you are required to have a license issued by the FCC.
Almost everyone engaged in public safety activities - as well as private

Communications Commission if they wish to use a radio transmitter.
The FCC will help you through the licensing process.
You can find the basic information you need to begin the process at the FCC
website. If you are engaged in public safety activities, you can go directly to:
