[Scan-DC] Arlington & PG County

I tried sending this thru, didn't make it, so apologies if it appears twice...

Mike has PG county gotten 700 Mhz assignments as yet?  If not, just that alone will take quite a while.

And as for a bandplan, is the plan shown here an APCO recommendation or official?  There's even a FCC site devoted to 700 listed here...

I have seen a number of recent notes about Arlington and PG.  I have 
met with both of these customers and they told me the following:

2.)  At the region 20 meeting ealier this year PG announced that they were going 
      to put a 700 Moto P25 system in.  While there is no FCC approved 700 MHz plan,
      PG had written one and put it out for comment.  They correctly stated that 
      there were no 800 channels left.  I assume the press release was incorrect about 
      800 and should have been 700 MHz unless they changed their minds and think they 
      can get about 20 channels out of the rebanding.
