Mesa, Arizona, Requests Extension in Reprogramming City’s Deployable Trunked System

Mesa, Arizona, requested more time from the FCC to reprogram the city’s deployable trunked system to the newly assigned former reserve channels as directed by a Jan. 9 public notice in docket 13-87. The extension will "allow the new channel pairs to be added to these radios on the next preventive maintenance cycle, thereby removing the additional expense of having to add them prior to June 2, 2015," said the city. It requested the extension be granted within six months after the new channel pairs are adopted by the Region 3 Planning Committee and the plan is approved by the commission.
