LPFM Third Adjacent Channel Study Released

Study shows favorable to potential elimination of third adjacent restrictions.

The FCC has released the long awaited study of third adjacent channel interference by Low Power FM (LPFM) stations. This report was ordered by Congress as a stipulation of the Radio Broadcast Protection Act passed a couple of years ago that imposed a third adjacent channel restriction to LPFM stations in respect to full power FM stations and FM translators.

An early view of this report shows very favorable to the restoral of the third adjacent channel. REC will evaluate the report and consult with our fellow LPFM supporters.

According to reports that we have received, there will be a public comment period upcoming. We will keep everyone up to date.
