§ 22.507   Number of transmitters per station.

   This section concerns the number of transmitters licensed under each station
   authorization in the Paging and Radiotelephone Service, other than paging
   geographic area authorizations.

   (a) Operationally related transmitters. Each station must have at least one
   transmitter. There is no limit to the number of transmitters that a station
   may comprise. However, transmitters within a station should be operationally
   related  and/or  should  serve  the  same  general  geographical area.
   Operationally related transmitters are those that operate together as a
   system   (e.g.,  trunked  systems,  simulcast  systems),  rather  than
   independently.

   (b) Split of large systems. The FCC may split wide-area systems into two or
   more stations for administrative convenience. Except for nationwide paging
   and other operationally related transmitters, transmitters that are widely
   separated geographically are not licensed under a single authorization.

   (c)  Consolidation  of  separate  stations.  The  FCC  may consolidate
   site-specific contiguous authorizations upon request (FCC Form 601) of the
   licensee,  if  appropriate under paragraph (a) of this section. Paging
   licensees may include remote, stand-alone transmitters under the single
   system-wide authorization, if the remote, stand-alone transmitter is linked
   to the system via a control/repeater facility or by satellite. Including a
   remote, stand-alone transmitter in a system-wide authorization does not
   alter the limitations provided under § 22.503(f) on entities other than the
   paging geographic area licensee. In the alternative, paging licensees may
   maintain separate site-specific authorizations for stand-alone or remote
   transmitters. The earliest expiration date of the authorizations that make
   up the single system-wide authorization will determine the expiration date
   for  the system-wide authorization. Licensees must file timely renewal
   applications  for  site-specific  authorizations  included in a single
   system-wide authorization request until the request is approved. Renewal of
   the system-wide authorization will be subject to § 1.949 of this chapter.

   (d) Replacement of site-by-site authorizations with single authorization.
   After a paging geographic area authorization for a channel has been issued,
   the FCC may, on its own motion, replace the authorization(s) of any other
   licensee (for facilities located within that paging geographic area on that
   channel) with a single replacement authorization.
