We seek comment on this proposal and any alternatives thereto. 2. Shared bands . Several frequency bands are used for TV Broadcast Auxiliary Services, Cable Relay Service (CARS), Private Land Mobile Radio Service, and Fixed Microwave Services. For example, Sections 74.644, 78.108, 101.143, and 101.803(b) set out minimum path lengths and appropriate power reductions for many of the same bands. However, Section 101.803(b), which regulates LTTS, requires compliance with the technical rules provided in Parts 74 and 78 of our Rules, which are different from those contained in the Part 101 rules. In addition, we understand that some confusion exists concerning which technical

In the Report and Order in WT Docket No. 94-148, the Commission adopted a new equation for Part 101 that eliminated the steep drop in EIRP at path lengths slightly shorter than the minimum. Using the equation now codified at Section 101.143, the reduction in EIRP for the example above would be approximately 1 dB -- a sharp contrast to the 25 dB computed using the current equation in Section 74.644. TIA recommends that we modify the rules in Part 74 to use the same equation now codified at Section 101.143. SBE and Alcatel support TIA's proposal. We are inclined to agree

  • limit set for the 3700-4200 MHz and 5925-6425 MHz bands. In particular, we ask commenters to address whether the proposed EIRP values are appropriate for the intended services, and whether it provides adequate power for stations to transmit over typical distances for various types of applications. We also ask whether we should apply the minimum path length contained in Section 101.143 of our Rules to operations in 4.9 GHz band. We tentatively conclude that applying the minimum path length would promote spectral efficiency by preventing the use of overpowered systems over short paths. Third, we seek comment on whether to make the emission mask requirements for fixed microwave services in the 4.9 GHz band consistent with the emission mask requirements for
