License Info

[Guest Jake]

I completed the application for my license 10 days ago. How long does it normally take to receive my call sign? Thanks

[WRYZ926]

Normally it only takes 24 to 48 hours. It took 4 days for a few of up back in October 2023.

Go to the FCC site and enter your FRN into ULS (Universal Licensing System) to see and print your license. The FCC doesn't notify you of grants,

They must be random about this or maybe it's a new thing. I got an email for my GMRS and my ham.

It’s been a couple years but I received an email also.

[WRYZ926]

I applied for my GMRS license last October and received an email also.

[Socalgmrs]

No email for me either.   Applied on a Friday checked on a Monday and it was all done.

I received an eMail from authorizations@fcc.gov with every transaction over the last few years ... the most current was in April 2023: "This email is to notify you of the recent grant of your application(s). The Commission currently provides access to the official version of your electronic licenses through License Manager in the Universal Licensing System (ULS) or by email. ..."

No email or any other notification.. I logged in and found my license.. .I imagine you have had yours for awhile.

I received emails for both GMRS and my Ham license. I would check spam filters if you don't, sometimes that stuff goes where you don't want it to. 

[WRYZ926]

I would definitely check your spam folder and spam settings. Make sure that the following email address is not sent to your junk/spam folder: authorizations@fcc.gov

We should request that it be pinned to the top so we can refer new people to it.

Your Baofeng and the hypothetical baofeng standing next to the repeater have 6 inch antennas, low quality components, and output only a couple of watts..
The repeater has (probably) a perfectly tuned 10-foot or larger antenna, (probably) very high-end expensive and very sensitive components, and is outputting (probably) upwards of 50 watts.. So not only can the repeater hear everything much better than your $19 Baofeng, but it can squirt it's RF electricities many more fars as well.

I received my call sign in about 4 to 5 days. Just keep checking your email and the FCC website. You should receive an email as well.

[Guest Clrcopy-WSAS743]

I filled my info out Friday morning, logged in around 1am sat morning and my call sign was there, next morning I got an email.  I still can't get an account here, but I figure by Monday it should update here and I can join.
