Range Search
|
$125 per site, per band, per report. One site plus choice of band: VHF-Hi, UHF below 800, VHF-Low, UHF-800 etc. for user-specified distance
and location (lat/long). User may specify reduced range within the band. Range search shows only frequencies and distances from the
proposed site. No analysis is included. |
Single Frequency Search |
$100 per frequency/site report. Includes co-channel and adjacent channel information out to user-specified distance (up to 250 miles) and
location (lat/long). Does not include detailed interference analysis of any potential interference issues. Used to verify a frequency provided by
client or further analysis resulting from range search. |
Combination |
$150 per frequency/site report. Range search and a “best” single frequency search (see above item descriptions) and
interference analysis (See Interference below). |
Site Search |
$75 per site. User-specified location (lat/long), distance and frequency range. Other user defined search parameters other than the
specific site (lat/long) include: city, county, licensee name, call sign. Does not include detailed interference analysis of any potential interference issues.
Used to identify other licensed operations in the vicinity. |
Propagation Analysis |
$125 per frequency/site Contour Methods includes coverage contours as required.
$100 per frequency/site Matrix Methods |
Interference Analysis |
$100 per frequency/site Contour Methods per pair (interferer/interferee) Each
additional site $35 Includes conflict contours as required. $125 per frequency/site Matrix Methods per pair
(interferer/interferee) Each additional site $35. TSB88 18 dBu protection criteria. |
Optional additions |

Propagation
and Interference Analysis may be used to support waiver requests requiring
studies etc. such as Safe Harbor for VHF/UHF or short spacing for 800
MHz.
Search output may be sorted by a number of characteristics at the specification
of the user such as distance, call sign, power or service in an ascending
or descending format. The resultant reports may be provided in hardcopy
printouts or digitally in universal text format via E-mail attachments
or floppy discs.
*Note: Subsequent applications submitted for
coordination with listed frequencies will qualify for the "B" category Search/Verification fee for coordination if submitted in a timely
manner following the search (contact AFC Engineering for more info. Varies
with area of operation.) Custom
engineering and searches will be quoted on request.
