       4. An analysis of the potential for AMS(R)S airborne terminal overload similar to
       that contained in Table 2.2.3.2.A in Appendix C2 of the ATC Order using the
       proposed values of EIRP and antenna gain changes.

       5. In evaluating your waiver request for section 25.253(a)(2), we reviewed the
       relevant GSM specifications, and it appears that the specified burst duration is the
       same for both the full-rate and half-rate vocoders. It would appear based on this
       information that the additional 0.5 dB reduction in average power would not
       apply to this situation. Please clarify how you intend to achieve this reduction in
       average power, assuming you intend to maintain the same transmitter power and
       GSM burst duration. In addition, your analysis only addresses a TDMA system.
       Provide a similar analysis showing how the vocoder factor would be applied to a
       CDMA system.

Please provide this information before COB February 4, 2003, with hand-delivered or
electronic courtesy copies to William Bell, William.Bel1@fcc.gov, and Kathryn Medley,
Kathryn.Medley@fcc.gov. If you fail to provide the information within this time period
the captioned applications may be dismissed pursuant to Sections 25.1 12(c) and
25.152(b) of the Commission’s rules.

                                             Sincerely,
                                                A              c ,
