By the District Director, Philadelphia Office, Northeast Region, Enforcement Bureau:
1. This is a Notice of Violation (“Notice”) issued pursuant to Section 1.89 of the 
Commission’s Rules1 to Mobile Radio Service Inc. (“Mobile Radio”), the operator of a 
radio servicing company and the licensee of Land Mobile Radio Service Station 
WPMW962 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  
2. On August 25, 2009, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Philadelphia Office, 
responding to a complaint of unauthorized transmissions on the frequency 45.36 MHz 
inspected the mobile radio station located at the Borough of West Mifflin, Public Works 
Department, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  The Borough of West Mifflin reported that 
Mobile Radio Service Inc. programmed the radios.  The agent contacted Mobile Radio

the licensee using the transmitter is not authorized.” Mobile Radio Service 
confirmed that it had programmed the frequency 45.36 MHz into the radios 
being used by the Borough of West Mifflin, Public Works Department 
without determining whether the authorization for WPRX383 included 45.36 
MHz as one of its authorized frequencies.  
3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,2 and 
Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Mobile Radio Service Inc. must submit a written 
statement concerning this matter within twenty (20) days of release of this Notice.  The 
response must fully explain each violation, must contain a statement of the specific 
action(s) taken to correct each violation and preclude recurrence, and should include a
