Correct Mathew. If any changes are made to the equipment on the tower, you lose grandfathering protection. Makes no sense at all. You have to keep Wimax equipment up or lose protection.

Re: [AFMUG] 3.65 NN base registration
We have a very large operator around here that basically monopolizes the band, but has zero CPEs registered. So I refuse to do it as well, not posting my customer locations for their consumption when they will not do the same, especially when theirs probably outnumber mine 30-1. I'm not really a fan of this band due to interference, but thanks to Baicells I have actually gotten it to be usable for the first time since I've had the license - which is about as long as anyone.

Re: [AFMUG] 3.65 NN base registration
Because it's currently illegal to operate a 3.65ghz radio without a license... but it's also against the rules to operate a radio that's not registered, and most people don't seem care too much about that, so I'm not really sure why they bother with the license.

Actually, to get grandfathering protection when the CBRS band opens up, you had to re-register in a new "clean" database by August 7th, 2016. Here is a list of those who obtained Grandfathering Protection. https://opendata.fcc.gov/Wireless/ULS-3650-Locations-Default-View/dpvg-tvcx Respectfully, -- Rick Harnish Director of WISP Markets Baicells Technologies North America, Inc. <https://na.baicells.com/> Mobile: (260) 307-4000 rick.harn...@na.baicells.com <mailto:rick.harn...@na.baicells.com> www.facebook.com/baicells <http://www.facebook.com/baicells> Respectfully, -- Rick Harnish Director of WISP Markets <https://na.baicells.com/> Baicells Technologies North America, Inc.

Re: [AFMUG] 3.65 NN base registration
At a minimal try to find out who the base station owners are and what they are doing because I have seen older C-band station show up as registered sites. Which is ok because they have filters on their gear to notch out what they dont use. If your right in front of the dish it could be an issue otherwise should be ok. If its other Wisp then good luck.

Yeah, you just need to register it... I've never known anyone to try coordinating anything, but at least the database gives you some idea of what else your dealing with.
