    The FCC typically issues a site license, which covers all radios operating within a specific area. You do not need to license each radio individually.

    In some cases, frequency coordination may be required by a local coordinator, which could involve additional costs.

    Please use the FCC's Universal Licensing System (ULS) to apply for licenses. The ULS can accessed here:
