Is Your Com Radio Illegal?

The use of older VHF aircraft radios not meeting a frequency
tolerance of .003 percent was set illegal to transmit on by the
Federal Communication Commission on January 1, 1997.
Transmitting on these radios is illegal, receiving radio frequencies
is perfectly fine.  Frequency tolerance for each radio is listed in
its user's manual or maintenance manual.  Some 360 channel
radios still meet the .003 tolerance.  You click on the web site
http://wire-less.fcc.gov/aviation/badlst.html to look up the radios
not acceptable for use in aircraft.  You may click on the web site
http://wire-less.fcc.gov/aviation/goodlst.html for a partial listing
of good radios acceptable for use in aircraft.  You may call or email
us with the make, model and serial number of your radio and we
will be glad to look it up for you.  Some models can be upgraded
or modified to meet the new standard.
