Other Information

Kansas City has completed its rebanding plan and has received Sprint/Nextel notification that they have cleared the “replacement frequencies” that the City is to receive through their permanent application filing that is being filed with APCO under separate applications. Sprint/Nextel’s letter is attached.
Before the Public Safety users can be transitioned to the new system it must be tested and its functionality verified. In order to facilitate an orderly cutover to the new system in the time frame required by the rebanding agreement this testing had to be constructed. In order to do so, the City of Kansas City, MO was granted two STAs under FCC Rule Section 1.931.
The City continues to operate under the STAs (Call Signs WQOC757 and WQOC760) that they will continue to renew until grant of their permanent license
