Franklin asserts that ``Fox Ridge found that of all of the potential UHF public safety channels, only one was potentially available and use of that channel would likely result in interference to incumbent licensees.'' Franklin maintains that ``[a]ll other channels were blocked by the incumbent licensees and thus did not comply with the centralized trunking rules found in Section 90.187(b) of the Commission's rules.'' Franklin asserts that ``[w]ith the lack of available UHF land mobile channels, the County considered the possibility of utilizing channels shared with television stations on channels 14-20.'' Furthermore, Franklin states that its goal is to find an interference-free channel that would not cause interference to other television stations and that ``[c]hannel 18 meets that criteria [sic].''

The Bureau remarked that ``several frequencies are listed as `available' in the 450-470 MHz band search attached to the application.'' The Bureau requested that Burleson ``elaborate if it attempted to obtain written consent from affected licensees on frequencies below 470 MHz, in accordance with Section 90.187 of the Commission's rules.'' On March 6, 2008, Burleson amended its application with a response to the Return. Burleson states that ``the frequencies shown on the attachment to the application are indeed `available' considering only co-channel existing licensees.'' Burleson continues, ``the adjacent channel operations that are still in the wideband (20 kHz occupied bandwidth) mode prevent the licensing on these

  • Also, Silverbow supplies a similar letter from Motorola, Inc., licensee on WQHE706 in VPCSA 12. Motorola bases its concurrence ``on the understanding that signal levels from [Silverbow's] communications system will be no greater than 5 dBu at the boundary of Motorola's licensed area.'' Both Motorola and Silverbow agree that ``operation by [Silverbow] . . . will be pursuant to [Section] 90.187, trunking under 512 MHz.'' Based on the record, we therefore conclude that Silverbow will provide a level of interference protection on the requested channels so as to ensure interference-free inland maritime communications on a primary basis sufficient to support a waiver of Section 80.123. Further, in the context of the first guideline in the Coast Station Flexibility Order, we address

  • 479.1625 MHz is assigned to Syosset and Baldwin. There are currently no rules for decentralized trunked systems, such as that proposed by Summit, to protect mobile-only or control station operations in the 470-512 MHz band. Summit, however, as a licensee operating a decentralized trunked system in this band, will be required to monitor its channels before transmitting pursuant to Section 90.187(b) of the Commission's rules. Given this regulatory framework, we find that Summit's proposed use of frequency 479.1625 MHz should not cause harmful interference to Syosset or Baldwin's incumbent co-channel operations. With respect to adjacent channel licensees, we observe that the Jersey City Police Department, New Jersey, operates on the lower adjacent frequency pair, 476/479.1500 MHz under call sign WQBL368, while

  • Ashland further asserts ``AASHTO performed detailed engineering analysis and certifies that the grant of the license requested will not result in harmful interference to any authorized users.'' AASHTO submitted a contour plot to demonstrate that the interfering contours for two base station transmitters covered by this application do not overlap any service contours of the Plymouth's Station WPYD799. Under Section 90.187(b)(2)(iii), ``objectionable interference exists when the interfering contour (19 dBu for VHF stations, 21 dBu for UHF stations) of a proposed trunked station intersects with the service contour (37 dBu for VHF stations, 39 dBu for UHF stations) of an existing station.''

On March 24, 1999, Valley Industrial applied for twenty-eight 800 MHz Industrial/Business frequency pairs. On February 1, 2000, the Branch partially granted Valley Industrial's application, authorizing ten channel pairs under Call Sign WPPV640. The Branch premised its partial grant on Section 90.187(e) of the Commission's Rules which limits applicants to ten trunked channels per application. Valley Industrial requested reconsideration of this partial grant in a March 9, 2000 letter to the Chief of the Branch, addressed to the FCC's Gettysburg, Pennsylvania location.

Among other things, the R&O modified Section 90.187 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 90.187, governing the operation and licensing of trunked radio systems below 512 MHz. More specifically, the Commission revised the definition of trunked systems governed by this rule section.

The Petitioners also argue that the Branch erred in concluding that they were not persons ``affected'' by the license grant. In this regard, the Petitioners argue that because Section 90.187 of the Commission's Rules classifies them as ``affected'' vis-a-vis any future adjacent co-channel applicants (such as Jonach) they are also ``persons affected'' under Section 1.4(b)(5) of the Commission's Rules and thus entitled to notice of the license grant. Accordingly, the Petitioners contend, the Branch' Order on Reconsideration should be reversed and the merits of Petitioner's interference arguments should be heard.

  • INTRODUCTION On May 8, 2000, Industrial Telecommunications Association, Inc. (ITA) filed an informal request to set aside the above-captioned authorization granted to Jim Crinklaw (Crinklaw). For the reasons set forth below, we deny ITA's Set-aside Request. On our own motion, however, we initiate a proceeding to modify Crinklaw's license to remove the frequency pair 464.5875/469.5875 MHz. Background Pursuant to Section 90.187 of the Commission's Rules, trunking is permitted in the Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) bands between 150 MHz and 512 MHz in those areas where the applicant/licensee has exclusive use of the frequencies in its service area or where the applicant/licensee obtains the consent of all affected licensees.

DISCUSSION We believe that ITA's request is most properly characterized as an informal request for Commission action under Section 1.41 of the Commission's Rules. ITA argues that license set aside is warranted because Noll's license was granted in violation of Section 90.187 of the Commission's Rules. Specifically, ITA argues that the Noll station does not afford the required adjacent-channel interference protection.

Accordingly, we will address the merits of PG&E's request. 9. PG&E argues that license set-aside is warranted because CMMC's license was granted in violation of Section 90.187 of the Commission's Rules.

By letter received September 5, 2000 in the Commission's Gettysburg, Pennsylvania office, ITA requested that the Commission set aside PSE&G's license for Station WPQK581. ITA argued that the authorization was granted in error because PSE&G's station does not afford Horizon the adjacent-channel interference protection required by Section 90.187 of the Commission's Rules; thus, according to ITA, Station WPQK581's operations on frequency 153.6200 MHz pose a risk of interference to Horizon's operations at Station WPOY784 on frequency 153.6125. To support its argument, ITA submitted its interference analysis of the PSE&G license as granted showing that PSE&G's interference contour (19 dBu) overlapped Horizon's service area contour (37 dBu).

In this connection, PG&E alleged that the license was granted in violation of Section 90.187 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 90.187, because PG&E had a prior and exclusive right to operate on an adjacent channel under Section 90.187 that was abrogated by grant of the CMMC license.

Our engineering review confirms that the specified NSTN channels did not satisfy the requirements of TSB-88. NSTN does not dispute that the contested channels did not satisfy the requirements of TSB-88. Instead, it argues that Petitioners are not entitled to protection because they are not ``affected parties'' under Section 90.187 of the Commission's Rules. As we have previously noted, however, the Section 90.187(b)(2) definition of ``affected licensee'' expressly relates only to analyzing applications under Section 90.187, which sets forth the standards for determining whether a 150-174 MHz or 421-512 MHz band applicant will be required to monitor the proposed frequency.

  • Background. NSTN's applications requested authority to operate a trunked radio system on 12.5 kHz ``offset'' channels in the 470-512 MHz band. NSTN proposed to operate with a 12.5 kHz channel bandwidth. MRA, which operates on channels with center frequencies 12.5 kHz removed from NSTN's proposed center frequencies, objected to NSTN's proposed operations. MRA asserted that NSTN was obliged under Section 90.187(b)(2) of the Commission's Rules to obtain consent from licensees, including MRA, operating on center frequencies 12.5 kHz or less removed from NSTN's proposed frequencies; and that NSTN's proposed operations did not provide interference protection to MRA's operations, as required by the Land Mobile Communications Council (LMCC) procedures for evaluating adjacent channel interference in the 470-512 MHz band using the interference

The Order on Further Reconsideration rejected this argument, and we will not discuss it further. NSTN also argues that its proposed operations should not be deemed to overlap MRA's and Joint Petitioners' spectrum because Section 90.187(b)(2) of the Commission's Rules affords protection only to stations with center frequencies 7.5 kHz or less removed from a proposed 12.5 kHz station.

There are currently no rules for decentralized trunked systems, such as that proposed by Summit, to protect mobile-only or control station operations in the 470-512 MHz band. Summit, however, as a licensee operating a decentralized trunked system in this band, will be required to monitor its channels before transmitting pursuant to Section 90.187(b) of the Commission's rules.

The Commission emphasized that centralized trunking would be permitted only in those areas where exclusivity is recognized by the Commission or where an applicant/licensee has obtained the consent of all licensees whose service areas overlap a circle with a radius of seventy miles from the proposed trunked system's base station. Section 90.187(b)(2)(v) of the Commission's Rules requires trunked licensees to maintain letters of consent and to provide copies to the FCC upon request. On May 14, 1998, the American Automobile Association (AAA), an FCC-certified frequency coordinator for PLMR spectrum, filed an application on behalf of NSTN to operate in the centralized trunked mode in the 450 MHz band. NSTN received an authorization

It also rejected NSTN's assertion that the Monte Nido license should have been modified only to delete the channels that overlapped channels licensed to MRA, noting that the other requested channels failed to satisfy TSB-88 with respect to other stations. The Division also rejected NSTN's argument that its proposed operations should not be deemed to overlap because Section 90.187(b)(2) of the Commission's Rules affords protection only to stations with center frequencies 7.5 kHz or less removed from a proposed 12.5 kHz station. After concluding that the NSTN applications overlapped incumbent stations, the Division rejected NSTN's assertions that TSB-88 nonetheless should not be applied. First, the Division concluded that frequency coordinators are required to follow TSB-88 when there is spectral

Section 90.187 of the Commission's Rules specifies the manner in which trunking may be accomplished in the PLMR frequency bands below 800 MHz.

Spectrum Efficiency Requirements. Section 90.35(e) of the Commission's Rules requires a satisfactory showing of need when applicants seek more than one frequency or pair of frequencies in a given area. In addition, for trunked operations, Section 90.187(e) limits the number of channels that can be sought in a single application to ten. CSAA argues that the grant of multiple frequencies to Cumulous would be improper because the applicant did not adequately justify multiple frequencies. We believe, however, that authorizing an applicant to operate on multiple frequencies would actually ameliorate rather than contribute to a potential adverse impact

  • license to Valley Industrial for Station WPPV640, Redding, California. For the reasons stated below, the petition is dismissed. Background. On March 24, 1999, Valley Industrial applied for twenty-eight 800 MHz Industrial/Business frequency pairs. On February 1, 2000, the Branch partially granted Valley Industrial's application, authorizing ten channel pairs under Call Sign WPPV640. The Branch premised its partial grant on Section 90.187(e) of the Commission's Rules which limits applicants to ten trunked channels per application. Valley Industrial requested reconsideration of this partial grant in a March 9, 2000 letter to the Chief of the Branch, addressed to the FCC's Gettysburg, Pennsylvania location. Section 405 of the Communications Act, as amended (Act), sets forth the requirements that a petitioner must satisfy before we

There has been no evidence to the contrary presented in this proceeding. Accordingly, we will allow Industrial/Business licensees sharing with public safety and Federal Government entities. We will amend Section 90.179 accordingly. § 90.187 Trunking in the bands between 150 and 512 MHz. In 1997 the Commission amended the rules in the Refarming Proceeding by adding a new rule section, Section 90.187, to allow centralized trunking in the PLMR bands between 150 MHz and 512 MHz. The new rules allowed PLMR licensees to make more efficient use of the spectrum. Several petitions for reconsideration

On July 1, 2003 and July 2, 2003, an agent of the Commission's Philadelphia Office inspected the radio transmitting equipment located at 7200 Stenton Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and observed the following violations: a. 47 C.F.R. 90.187(a): ``Applicants for trunk systems operating on frequencies between 150 and 512 MHz must indicate on their applications that their system will be trunked. Licensees of stations that are not trunked may trunk their systems only after modifying their license.'' Sunshine was operating a trunking system on the frequencies 152.285 MHz, 151.5425 MHz, 153.0725 MHz, 153.665 MHz and 151.985 MHz without

The station class identified for the frequency 502.1125 MHz in Union's authorization for WPMC452 is an FB2 mobile relay. In order to operate a trunked system, Union must modify its license (class of station codes) to indicate that its system will be trunked. b. 47 C.F.R. S: 90.187(b): "Trunked systems operating under this section must employ equipment that prevents transmission on a trunked frequency if a signal from another system is present on that frequency. The level of monitoring must be sufficient to avoid causing harmful interference to other systems." At the time of the inspection it was determined that, due to a power amplifier failure, Union had
