VHF-DSC and GPS
• More education is needed
– Recreational users are not registering in
appreciable numbers
– DSC radios are not being programmed with
MMSIs
– GPS units are not being interfaced to the
radios
• OBTAIN a MMSI
• PROGRAM your radio
• HOOK UP your GPS
27 Jan 2012

LightSquared
• Issue: LightSquared LLC has purchased
spectrum for terrestrial and satellite-based Wi-Fi
– $4B invested since 2004
• Through spectrum swaps and waivers, plan to
develop 40,000 terrestrial stations in the L band,
just below GPS frequencies
• GPS is 90 dB below LS signals
– Effectively shuts down civilian GPS over most urban
areas
• FCC has received thousands of comments; stay
tuned
27 Jan 2012

SC-101 DSC Radio
• SC-101 is a RTCM standard for VHF-DSC
– Inexpensive radios
– Lesser capability, e.g., one receiver
– Looser tolerances on electronic standards
• USPS has always recommended Class D
• 25 Mar 2011: Prohibition on manufacture, importation,
sale and installation [of SC-101] fixed mount VHF
• 47 CFR 80.225(a)(4)
• 25 Mar 2012: Prohibition on manufacture, importation,
sale and installation [of SC-101] handheld VHF
Bottom Line:
Don’t buy a SC-101 radio
