FCC Launches "Spectrum Dashboard"
Graphic database allows searches by frequency, location, name, or licensee category.
The FCC has released its “Spectrum Dashboard,” a graphic-interface database of frequencies and licensees from 225 MHz to 3700 MHz. (Check out the graphic to the left, which is a partial screen grab of the "Browse Spectrum Bands" function of the Dashboard at work.) You can search by spectrum band, geographic area, licensee name, or FCC licensee category.
Although very much a beta release, and limited in scope of spectrum, it is fun to play with. If you like that sort of thing. And we know some of you do.
Yes, very much a beta version, I broke it a few times, and is rather restricted in frequency. However, a much more intuitive front end to the FCC search database functions. Revealed a bunch of experimental licenses I didn't know were there (some of which have been renewed for well over a decade - is that normal?). Some very cool animated graphics - but enough playing around.
