Important Rebanding Information
This radio supports the new FCC 800 MHz Public Safety frequency
band definition. The FCC has reorganized the 800 MHz band to
reduce particular types of interference impacting public safety radio
systems by moving the NPSPAC transmit frequencies from
821-824MHz to the 806-809 MHz area
700 MHz and 800 MHz public safety transmit frequencies into a
single contiguous blo
separation from cellular and Enhanced SMR frequencies.
This separation should limit any harmful out-of-band emission and
receiver
intermodulations.
ck of spectrum with a greater degree of
.This change consolidates
Note: In accordance with the
Order (Docket 02-55), Motorola has offered rebanding
replacement products to allow 800 MHz licensees to comply
with the new band plan. These rebanding products are part of
Motorola's current ASTRO Digital XTS and XTL product
portfolio and are denoted by an RB at the end of the product
title. These products offer all of the features of the current
products but have the channel capacity and call list sizes
equivalent to the MTS 2000 and MCS 2000 products.
