traut Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 Hi Jeff, Do I need a license for each radio? I currently have 16 Audio LTD's. How are they going to catch us? Will they have monitoring vans ala BBC, or just send Federales to set? Hope you are well. Happy New Year! Quote

I think all of you questions have been answered, but you probably ought to watch the VDO of the seminar 28 Dec, as it contains a lot of specifics that will cover your questions, and the follow-up questions you will certainly have as well...

Whit Norris Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 Just a note on the renewal process. My license was up for renewal April 1 of 2013. I went online Jan. 3rd to renew. Very simple very easy. I received the license yesterday in the mail. I was impressed by the 7 day turnaround. Also the new license is valid till April 1, 2021, 8 years. Cheers, Whit Quote

jwill Posted January 22, 2013 Report Posted January 22, 2013 Great info, and Bill ruck is the guru, def worth the 100 bucks. He took care of everything , now just waiting on the actual license! Are the iniital terms only 2 yrs and then re new is 8 yrs? JHW Quote
nysounds Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Just received my license last week. Thanks again to Bill for all of the expert help!! Quote
jwill Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 NY Sounds, was the wait three months from filing? And how long is the initial license good for? JHW Quote
nysounds Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 JHW, Mine actually took about 4 months. The initial license is good for two years Quote
studiomprd Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 " the wait three months from filing? And how long is the initial license good for? " Actually, these vary... they are what they are! Quote
S Harber Posted February 27, 2013 Report Posted February 27, 2013 I went back to see where my license stood as I went through Bill Ruck (gladly) in October and after turning Java back on, keep getting all the pages cropped like the pages shown above on deep owl's post. Seems to always crop off the right side of the app info. This happened in Safari and Firefox. Any ideas? Thanks, Scott Harber Quote
Matt Mayer Posted February 27, 2013 Report Posted February 27, 2013 Just received my paperwork in the mail this week. For the record: Applied: 10/22/12 Granted: 2/14/13 (Almost 4 months!) Expires: 12/1/13 (sigh, must be when all the TV licenses in Chicago are up...) Quote

Expires: 12/1/13 (sigh, must be when all the TV licenses in Chicago are up...) Just go online and pay another 50.00 then it is good for 7 years hardest part is over Quote
Matt Mayer Posted February 27, 2013 Report Posted February 27, 2013 Just go online and pay another 50.00 then it is good for 7 years hardest part is over Agreed. Can't put in the renewal until 3 months before expiration. Would have liked to get more than 10 months out of the initial app, though... Quote
johnpaul215 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 I just got mine a few weeks ago, and I applied in the beginning of September. I'm sure it depends on how busy they are now, but it sounds like those currently getting licenses applied about 4 months ago. I also used Bill Ruck to do the application. Mine expires 08-01-2015. There must be some reason you guys get 10 months and I get 2.5 years. Maybe it is tied to local TV stations. Quote

Johnpaul, It is tied to regions of the US is how it is broken up with different renewal years. Also it is very easy to renew online and I received mine in 10 days. Whit Quote
Jim Gilchrist Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Like Whit, I received my renewal pretty quickly, less than a week but I also live pretty close to the FCC. The online renewal process is extremely simple and quick. My new license expires in 2020. Best regards, Jim Quote
drpro Posted April 7, 2013 Report Posted April 7, 2013 Another new license issued, 3 months four days from the Coffey Sound/Bill Ruck seminar. Made the job much easier. Thanks. David Rogers (renewal in 4 months!!) Quote
ryanpeds Posted April 7, 2013 Report Posted April 7, 2013 Here are screen grabs I took of some of the online application, they may or may not be correct so use them at your own risk. Due to Java and the FCC website mine has a fatal glitch and I cannot complete the application until I get on a different computer. These answers may or may not work. I checked what I could against the online seminar with Bill Ruck at Coffey/Trew and they seem similar. Hopefully these pics help guide others through the process and don't steer anyone wrong All answers in RED are sections that wouldn't load for me or notes on things I thought important...especially the part about the Emission Designator code being incorrect as described by Bill. The emission designator is 200KF3E. Bill has it right. You can also check Jay Patterson's own reference license that he provided. Quote
mastermixaudiomedia Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 I'm going for it... just got a reply from Bill Ruck. Quote
greg sextro Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 just got my license. took about 3 months from when Bill filed the paperwork. He made it simple and easy for me. Quote
studiomprd Posted April 17, 2013 Report Posted April 17, 2013 " “The FCC regulations state that before you go to a database administrator to seek protection from these consumer digital devices you have to look in all other legal bands, including VHF,” said Stoffo. “Once someone comes out with a piece of equipment that operates in VHF and it works, you’re almost obligated by the FCC to use that equipment before you can seek protection from anything more than the two sixmeg chunks that they’ve given us up in UHF.” " Quote

ebranting Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 I'm just starting on this whole process, with Bill's help. Thanks, Jeff, for making the whole process far easier and less painful! And Bill is extremely helpful - his services are worth more than he charges! Quote
