Interference Resolution
While every effort is made by all FCC's coordinators to provide the best available frequency for each system, occasions inevitably arise when systems on shared spectrum are unable to co-exist, experience potentially harmful interference or encounter unlicensed operation.  Initially Challenge works to locally** resolve issues directly.  If issues cannot be resolved, ITA, the FCC's designated representative for interference issues will submit its recommendations for resolution to the area FCC field office for action.  ITA anticipates that the Bureau will respond expeditiously to our requests for immediate assistance and will grant a presumption of accuracy to a Compliance Request Report Form filed by ITA, through Challenge Electronics, Inc.

Interference resolution/Mediation-
$ 250.00 minimum per action (No ITA involvement),  $ 360.00 minimum per action (with ITA involvement)
