I am interested in building an online database of frequencies for my scanner.
I seem to remember reading somewhere about the FCC having this data on
magtape in ANSI format available for rent. I have small group of people
interested in this so a fee could be provided. Does anyone know if this
really exists and if so, how to order it? I have tried plowing through
Government Documents at the library with no luck. Thanks in advance.

FCC records are available from the US National Techni-
cal Information Service in three forms:
1. Microfiche - catalog PR-718-1 contains all of the
FCC datafiles that are available on microfiche
from NTIS.
2. Magnetic tape - catalog PR-718-2 contains all of
the FCC datafiles that are available on magnetic
tape from NTIS. EBCDIC tapes are available in 7
track 1600 bpi, and 9 track 800, 1600, or 6250
bpi.
3. 5.25" floppy diskette in ASCII format, compatible
with the IBM-PC. I don't think a catalog is
available yet, so call the NTIS if interested in
floppies.
Call the NTIS at (703)254-7160 for the catalogs or
other information.
I think microfiche is the cheapest media, cheaper yet
if you buy the set Bob Grove sells at about $150. The
magnetic tape version is available from NTIS for over
$7200.00!
