Texas 700 MHz Interop Channels

[Russell]

Why can I not reconcile the following? What are the real channel names/usage?

Common/Shared Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference
ULS Application - Conventional Public Safety 700 MHz - 0004371527 - DALLAS, CITY OF
http://apcointl.org/new/commcenter911/documents/APCO-NPSTC-ANS-1-104-1DraftPRC.pdf
http://www.npstc.org/documents/NIFOG v1.2 4-14-2008.pdf
http://www.ner700mhz.org/sect2/Part 2, Appendix A - Table of Interoperability Channels.pdf


This is the latest draft: http://apcointl.org/new/commcenter911/documents/APCO-NPSTC-ANS-1-104-1DraftPRC.pdf. Yes, I see that this is draft, but ... 7LAW84 is 774.00625

But is not reflected here: Common/Shared Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference where ther is no 7LAW84

An doesn't jive with this document: http://www.ner700mhz.org/sect2/Part 2, Appendix A - Table of Interoperability Channels.pdf where 7LAW84 is 769.00625

Ironically, the names appear more important than the frequencies themselves. No wonder everybody uses the phone.

And one more link to add to the mix.
http://www.npstc.org/documents/APCO-NPSTC-ANS1-104-1web.pdf

That's the approved ANSI standard. It was approved earlier this year.

NPSTC has a press release about it

And don't forget CAPRAD. They're listed as low power there.

The 700 MHz public safety band was reconfigured several years ago and some frequencies changed.
This was before the the TV channels moved and before the band was even in use in most places.
After that happened, I submitted the info on the Texas common/shared page from latest document on the TSIEC web site http://tsiec.region49.org/MOU+TSICP.pdf .

I also updated the nationwide interoperability wiki page Common Public Safety - The RadioReference Wiki when the final APCO/NPSTC/ANSI channel name document http://www.apcointl.com/new/commcenter911/documents/APCO-NPSTC-ANS1-104-1web.pdf was published.

I had to type all that by hand and I proofread it several times.
It is possible that there are errors or the Texas band pland doesn't match the national one, even though TSIEC also has the APCO document on their web site.

As far as I can tell the low power/itinerant channels don't have official names.

That actually helps. I guess I thought all the 700 MHz channels had names but it really makes sense that they don't. The one document that had them listed as Interop freqs with names, but that one was also out of date.
