With XM Satellite Radio broadcasting the PGA golf tour and distributing XM2go units to tournament attendees, they applied for a Special Temporary Authority (STA) from the FCC to operate these mini-repeaters at PGA Tour events to ensure a consistant signal. Total RF has been against XM?s request, claiming that the terrestrial repeater would cause interference to its own wireless services at PGA Tour events.
The FCC has granted an extension to the STA to June 10th while XM and Total RF sort things out.
