Thus, we are persuaded that Lancaster would provide 50 dB protection to co-channel analog LPTV stations and translators. For co-channel digital stations, Lancaster used a protection ratio of 17 dB based on Section 90.545(a)(1). Lancaster demonstrates that potentially affected co-channel digital LPTV/translator stations will receive more than 17 dB protection. As we stated above, the generally accepted protection criterion for a contour analysis between a PLMRS station and an adjacent channel TV station is zero dB at the TV station's Grade B contour. For adjacent channel digital stations, Lancaster used a protection ratio of

NCPD claims that its proposed portable and mobile units will not cause interference to television stations because, with one exception, the coverage contours of area television stations do not extend into Nassau County where such mobiles and portables will operate.

Lancaster demonstrates that potentially affected co-channel digital LPTV/translator stations will receive more than 17 dB protection.

Interference Protection of Analog and Digital Television Service in TV Channels 51-69 Definition of ``Actual'' Parameters The Second DTV Periodic NPRM sought comment on an issue raised in the Public Safety Spectrum Report and Order. The NPRM explained that sections 90.545(c) and 27.60(b) of the Commission's rules describe alternative methods for a wireless applicant or licensee in the 700 MHz band to move closer to an analog TV or DTV antenna while still complying with the interference protection requirements in the rules.

This rule section was modeled after rule section 90.545(c)(1)(ii), which was adopted in the Commission's 1998 Public Safety Service Rules Order and also provides for the submission of an engineering study based on the actual parameters of potentially affected broadcast stations to show compliance with the TV/DTV interference protection criteria for 700 MHz public safety licensees.
