About Low-Power FM Radio

Low-power FM (LPFM) radio runs off of 100 watts and has a broadcast range of 3-5 miles. LPFM station licenses can only be granted to non-commercial groups such as religious, educational, civic, and neighborhood organizations. There are over 800 LPFM stations in the U.S. that utilize unused parts of the spectrum to local community benefit. In 2003 an independent study by the MITRE corporation concluded that relaxing restrictions and allowing LPFMs in the third adjacent (three 'clicks' away) channel would not cause interference.
