I am requesting 4575 MHz and 4605 MHz, which comply with the channel plan (please verify this is correct). All other parameters are the same as you coordinated below.

Explanation: I received a call from John Kennedy at the FCC advising that the frequencies I requested do not comply with the NTIA channel plan for 4400-4940 MHz (4.3.18). "They" have new software that flagged the error. The frequencies I requested are on a different license we have for the same area and frequencies, but bandwidth of 16M5. The center frequencies of 4570 and 4600 MHz are valid for a 20 MHz channel, but not 10 MHz. Since the max bandwidth we use for Vortex is less than 10 MHz, the channel plan requires a different center frequency to comply with the table. NTIA denied 4600 MHz, but granted 4570 MHz to give me an opportunity to re-coordinate for two frequencies that comply, and then modify the license. A copy of the license is attached FYI. Sorry for not catching this in the original request.

Looking forward to the Fall FMG in San Antonio. Textron Aviation, Inc. needs to coordinate with you for an experimental STA (to get an authorization soonest possible), and follow up with an application for a 2-year experimental license. The frequencies I am requesting are already on experimental license WH2XCK (attached) that we have for the same location, but the transmitter make/model, power, bandwidth and emissions are different. We are OK with using the same frequencies as

on the attached license. These frequencies will be used for development, testing, and demonstration of airborne platforms incorporating the Vortex datalink transceivers. Request Parameters Location Description: within 150 km of coordinates 37-38-42 N, 097-15-54 W, Wichita, Sedgwick County, KS Operation start date: 16-June-2017 Transmitter Model: Vortex C-Band Digital Transceiver, J/F 12/10238 Frequencies: 4570 MHz and 4600 MHz Emission Designators: 810KF1D, 1M62F1D, 1M94F1D, 2M40G1D, 4M05F1D, 4M79G1D, 9M58G1D Transmitter Power: 20 W mean Antenna: 3" blade Antenna Gain: 6 dBi Radiated Power: 48.6 W ERP / 80 W EIRP Station Classes: Mobile aircraft, mobile ground Aircraft Max Altitude: 20,000 ft MSL Thanks, Dan Hankins Spectrum Manager - Sr Textron Aviation +1.620.332.0432 OFFICE | +1.316.249.1860 MOBILE| dhankins@txtav.com < Caution-mailto:dhankins@txtav.com > One Cessna Blvd. |Independence, Kansas 67301 USA | txtav.com
