6.25KHz VHF/UHF Coordination procedures

On August 4, 2008, the LMCC (Land Mobile Communications Council) submitted a letter to the FCC advising the Commission that the frequency advisory committees have developed a set of coordination procedures that will serve to protect existing systems and concurrently provide opportunities for licensing 6.25 kHz or equivalent bandwidth systems in the VHF and UHF bands.

VHF systems will use a 13 dB derating of the interference contour for systems spaced at 7.5 kHz; and UHF systems will use an 8 dB derating of the interference contour for systems spaced at 6.25 kHz.

The LMCC asked the FCC to issue a Public Notice to alert the industry as to the FACs consensus procedures.
