[Scan-DC] NEW FCC URL

[John Bacon]

I agree Larry. I like how it used to be. The search was more user friendly
and seemed you can do more with it.

Morning to Ralph and all on the list.

The search template you gave in your message is for the ULS archive. It will

NOT do frequency searches etc. The search template you are looking for is 
located at:
http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchAdvanced.jsp. This is the 
advanced search template.

The basic license search template page is oocated at 
http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp

That should put everyone back on the right track. Now I need to call these 
jokers and tell them to quit messing around with these things.I have lost 
track of the number of times they have changed these templates in the last 5

years. Maybe they need to learn the old adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix

it."  ;-)))
