[Scan-DC] DC Fire emission designators

[Jeff Krauss]

Someone asked a few weeks ago whether the DC Fire radio system will 
be using LSM, so I took a look at the FCC's ULS database.

The frequency that RadioReference has designated as the control 
channel in the P25 system is 855.46250 MHz.  That is licensed under 
two call signs, 
<http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=1302170>KNJE616 
and 
<http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=2520309>WPXT459 
.  They both show 20K0F3E emission designators, which is analog FM 
voice, not digital.  Not LSM.

But who knows, maybe DC Office of Unified Communications doesn't 
bother to operate in accordance with their FCC licenses.

Or am I missing something?

Separately, their 700 MHz frequencies seem to be covered by 
<http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=2377049>WPTZ766 
but that file doesn't show any emission designators.
