C005 Does one have to install each new issue of BR IFIC?
Yes, it is necessary to install each issue of BR IFIC, i.e. every two weeks, in order to have the updates of the Register, the different plans and all notices received in the meantime.
C006 How does one consult BR IFIC?
The Circular can be consulted with TerRaQ software. You can either refer to the most recent issue or make a general request covering the whole database.
C007 Can one consult the International Frequency Register from BR IFIC?
Yes, the International Frequency Register is published every two weeks in the BR IFIC.
C008 Can one install the part of the register that is of interest, e.g. the broadcasting service?
No, the installation procedure does not allow the BR IFIC user to install only that part of the database that is of interest.
C009 We sent the Bureau notices a month ago and have still not had any acknowledgement of receipt?
Under RR 11.28, notices are published in part 1 within two months of receipt by BR. Please therefore consult the BR IFIC issues from that period or the corresponding index files at the address: http://www.itu.int/ITU-R/go/brific-ter.
