The FCC requires that a radio is authorized to operate within the specified bandwidth and that the user is required to have a FCC license to operate in that mode. The exception to Rule Part 90 narrowbanding requirements are for radios operating only within MHz frequencies (T-Band), which will continue to support 25 khz channel bandwidth functionality. Supported APX Radios: APX 80XE APX 7XE APX 65 Li APX 60XE APX 6000 Li APX 45 Li APX 40 (2 knob) APX 4000 Li APX 4000 XH APX MHz APX MHz (2 knob) APX 30ģ SRX 2 (2 knob) APX 15 APX MHz APX MHz (2 knob) TXM 2000 VHF Special FCC Regulation Note: - FCC NARROWBANDING MANDATE FOR ASTRO RADIOS Per the FCC Rule Part 90 requirements on narrowbanding, VHF and UHF radios imported or manufactured after will no longer be authorized to operate on 25 khz channel bandwidth.
