All of our agencies have received our tentative frequency assignments. I received a Frequency Proposal Report at the beginning of August. We are proposed to move from our current frequency of 851.3125 to 854.9375. Accompanying the report was a "proposed frequency environment" page that had one other agency (Federal Express, unfortunately, which will/would be data) at 108.87 kilometers distance from our department. There were also numerous pages listing "current frequency environment", replete with Nextel licenses, the closest of which is listed as 88.06 KM distant.
During our initial meeting with Motorola they strongly suggested we have an independent interference survey completed once we received our frequency assignments.
Interesting stuff all around. Apologies to the gentleman who posted asking about the 796D. You can see that it's going to be a while before this actually happens. While Uniden is confident that it will not be a big issue for them, I think they're waiting for a "live example" before they can do anything. I have read somewhere that these flash upgrades will afford the opportunity for using the radio in both rebanded and non-rebanded areas if need be. I probably read that here but I can't remember the specific thread.
