Commission’s Rules,1 to Bearcom, the operator of a radio servicing company and the licensee of various

151.955 MHz for use by Wal-Mart Supercenter Store #3351, located at 6464 N. Decatur Boulevard, Las 
Vegas, Nevada.  The investigation also revealed that Wal-Mart Supercenter Store #3351 had no 
authorization to operate on 151.955 MHz, although other Wal-Mart stores in the Las Vegas, Nevada, area 
had authority to operate on other frequencies. 3 The Los Angeles Office determined the following

a. 47 C.F.R. § 90.427(b): “Except for frequencies used in accordance with § 
90.417, no person shall program into a transmitter frequencies for which the 
licensee using the transmitter is not authorized.”  Investigation by the Los 
Angeles Office revealed that Bearcom installed a radio system for Wal-Mart 
Supercenter Store #3351and programmed a frequency into the system that 
was not authorized by any license held by Wal-Mart for that location.
