Station class codes describe the purpose for which a particlular station is used. The most common ones are:
- FB - Base Station - A station at a specified site authorized to communicate with mobile stations.
- MO - Mobile Station - A station in the mobile service intended to be used while in motion or during halts at unspecified points. This includes hand carried transmitters.
- FB2 - Mobile Relay - A repeater.
- FCC definition of Mobile Relay station: A base station in the mobile service authorized to retransmit automatically on a mobile service frequency communications which originate on the transmitting frequency of the mobile station.
- FX1 - Control Station - A base station used to operate on a repeater in the same way as a mobile station.
- FCC definition of Control Station: An Operational Fixed Station, the transmissions of which are used to control automatically the emissions or operation of another radio station at a specified location.
- FCC definition of Operational Fixed station: A fixed station, not open to public correspondence, operated by, and for the sole use of those agencies operating their own radio communication facilities in the Public Safety, Industrial, Land Transportation, Marine, or Aviation Radio Services.
- FB6 - Private Carrier (profit) - A repeater operated by a radio communications provider.
- FCC definition of Private Carrier: An entity licensed in the private services authorized to provide communications service to other private services on a commercial basis.
- FB8 - Centralized Trunk Relay - A repeater that is part of an LTR or Passport trunked system.
- Interconnect - A connection to the telephone network to allow radio users to make or receive telephone calls. Also called a phone patch.
- Itinerant - A station that is operated temporarily at different locations.
