Amendment of the Commission's Rules To Revise the Authorized Duty Cycle on 173.075 MHz

概要

In this document the Commission revised the duty cycle specifications for stolen vehicle recovery system operations on 173.075 MHz by adding a new duty cycle option of 1800 milliseconds every 300 seconds, with a maximum of six messages in any thirty-minute period. This action was taken to enable the enhancement of police performance in the recovery of stolen vehicles and apprehension of suspects. This rule change will facilitate: more efficient law enforcement, a decrease in the time between when a vehicle is discovered stolen and when the theft is reported to the police, greater stolen vehicle recovery rates, and a greater rate of apprehension of criminals.
