all radios

The agenda for the 700 MHz includes:
· Interoperability – discuss required channels to be installed in radios
· 4.9 GHz band – comments and discussion on possible FCC actions 
· DVRS update on allowed frequencies and how they are to be used per the Region 37 Plan
Both Region 37 Public Safety RPCs’ meetings are open to the public.  All eligible public safety 
providers in Region 37 may utilize these frequencies.  It is essential that eligible public safety agencies in 
all areas of government, including state, municipality, county, and Native American Tribal be 
represented in order to ensure that each agency’s future spectrum needs are considered in the allocation 
process.  Administrators who are not oriented in the communications field should delegate someone with 
this knowledge to attend, participate, and represent their agency’s needs.
