Public Safety Bureau Seeks Comment on Channels for Nationwide 700 MHz Deployable Trunked Systems

The FCC Public Safety Bureau Tuesday sought comment on recommendations for a set of six channels that would be available nationwide for 700 MHz deployable trunked systems, in a public notice Tuesday. The channel sets on which the bureau sought comment were recommended by the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council and the National Regional Planning Council, the bureau said. The two groups noted in a February filing that the FCC had asked them in an October order to recommend up to eight channel sets. They said they identified six that were best suited for the use under the criteria laid out by the FCC. Comments are due on the six channels April 2, replies April 17, in docket 02-378.
