News from REC

FCC on track for an NCE FM Translator filing window, likely in late 2026

Things you need to know about what is coming up, what this is for and how REC will be handling this.

REC Preliminary Statement: Proposal for new 250 (or 500)-mile AM on FM Translator Filing Window

REC does not outright oppose a 250 or 500 mile move, however there must be safeguards put in place to protect LPFM stations and to prevent speculation.

Adopted "Delete" Final Rule protects legacy cordless phones; eliminates blocking requirement in 800MHz scanners.

REC's ex parte letter to OET resulted in the Office adding a weak clarification that existing "46/49" cordless phones can continue to be used, despite the deletion of the rule allowing them.

Underwriting: Time for yet another crash course

We know it is tough for LPFM, but "startup organizations" were never the original intention of the educational radio service. Therefore, LPFMs have many more challenges and must do so within the law.

Why is REC advocating for old style cordless phones?

The "Direct Final Rule" process needs to be used for "cleaning" the CFR of rules regarding obsolete technologies, not take away the frequency and/or power privileges of devices that are not obsolete.
