Setting up a user account is easy

Create Account

Fill in the details required in the page as outlined in the image. We suggest that larger organisations consider using a generic email address, particularly in those situations such as head of News Camera Crews or COS. For example, rather than the username and email being smith@yourorg.com.au use a group email such as radioeng@yourorg.com.au and share the password with group members.

Account Verification

Once the account is created, an email will be sent to the email address used for registration asking for verification.

Click on the verification link. You will then be able to login and access the homepage.

Making a Request

From the list of upcoming events on the homepage, double click on the event you are wishing to register your equipment on.

You will be directed to the new request form.

Enter your request title and select the location of use from the drop-down box. The locations are specific to each event and are determined by the frequency manager.

Nominate the period of use of the equipment on the event day and then select “Continue”.

Now you will be required to enter a mode to continue working with FreqCoord. If you are only entering a request for wireless microphones or IFB devices, choose simple mode and then “Continue”. If you have two way radios, camera links etc, please use standard mode and then “Continue”.
