Getting to Know Your Radio
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 821-824
MHz to 806-809 MHz area. This change consolidates 700 MHz and
800 MHz public safety transmit frequencies into a single contiguous
block of spectrum with a greater degree of separation from cellular
and Enhanced SMR frequencies. This separation should limit any
harmful out-of-band emission and receiver intermodulations.
Note: In accordance with the FCC 800 MHz rebanding Report and
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.
