§ 22.871 - Control channel transition period.

The rules in this section provide for a period of transition during which the experimental air-ground system operating on the channels listed in § 22.857 will be discontinued and replaced by a system operating in full compliance with the rules in this subpart. The experimental system may continue to exclusively use a 3.2 kHz control channel contained within the bandwidth of communications channel C-2 of each channel block until September 9, 1996. After that date communications channel C-2 will be available for use by all carriers authorized to operate an air-ground system on the channels listed in § 22.857.
