pecitlly for trunked rystems of radio communication of the type we have under 0 0015.c, we felt we should rely on the number of mobile consideration at units in operation as a base from which to set up channel occupancy figures.

e:cl rule, a channel pair can be employed in an effective manner in dispatch-l ing 50 mobile units of the vehicular type and an even greater number of port-able or-hand carried units.- In this we. recognize that there are no two situa-tions exactly alike and that there are many factors to be taken into account.
Among them are average message length; the number of units in operation in any given time per2od; the number of times, each hour, the dispatchert r.nd mobiles originate calls; the. number of dispatchers on duty at any one time; the size of the system (the number of communicatien channels available for use at r.ny one point in time); and, certainly, the nature of the functions and activi-l l
All of these factors have an impact on system capacity.

Nevertheless, as an overall cr average measure, we have determined that in l
e 3_1,/ In any case in which the proposed transmitter site is within the 15 and 25 mile radii, such application, of course, will be studied with co-channel stations in the protected areas, until such time as the channel is loaded in accordance with applicable standards. We would note, however, that all of these procedures are subject to further study and review, and based on day-to-day operating data, we may find they can be improved.
Should this be so, appropriate steps will be taken to reflect this experi-ence.
