What does the acronym "JRC" mean?
|
To us, JRC currently stands for "Joint Radio Company"
although in the past it meant "Joint
Radio Committee", which was the short name for the "Joint Radio Committee of the Nationalised Fuel and
Power Industries" and also "Joint Radio Committee
of the Fuel and Power Industries".

Do you sell/make Radar Equipment, Fish Finders,
Satellite Communications equipment, etc?
|
No, you're thinking of the Japan Radio Company
which is a completely different organisation with
no links to the Joint Radio Company whatsoever.
They used to have an office in the UK but are
currently based in the Netherlands. Try www.jrcEurope.com for
more information or ring +31 20 658 0750 if you
want to speak to someone about your equipment
requirements or problems.

Can anyone join the JRC?
|
Yes. Although we started off representing the UK
Energy Industries, this is now purely historical.
There's no reason why we can't represent any
radio user group or licensee requiring
professional spectrum management services.

Do you just manage spectrum then?
|
Yes... and no. We're able to undertake everything
from simple service area plots for single base
stations to negotiating blocks of spectrum from
Ofcom or other sources and planning entire radio
networks. We coordinate wind turbines into the
existing radio environment as well as conduct
mitigation studies. If we can't do the work
ourselves we'll find you someone who can do it
for you!

What sort of spectrum do you manage?
|
We deal primarily with PMR Mobile Radio (PMR) and
SCADA spectrum (Scanning Telemetry). Our staff
also have a broad experience of all sorts of
communications technologies and can usually
point you in the right
direction if you're lost.

I've bought this radio and I was told it was for
JRC band (or used by some Electricity Board/Gas
Board) - what can I do with it? Do you have any
information on it?
|
We have a small area
of the site dedicated to the care and feeding
of retired PMR equipment.
