US Borders and Regions Check

The US Borders utility determines the distance to the Canadian and Mexican borders and determines what region the user-specified coordinates reside as defined in Rule Section 90.619. Rule Section 90.619 defines Canadian regions for 800 and 900 MHz land mobile radio stations. This rule also defines which frequencies may or may not be assigned in regions near the Canadian and Mexican borders. This program provides the distance to Chicago per Rule 90.617 defining a unique channel plan for the Chicago area that the FCC defines as stations with a 70-mile radius of 41° 52' 28" N and 87° 38' 22" W. In addition, the utility provides a notice if the entered coordinates are in proximity to a defined peak as defined in Rule Section 90.621 (mountain peaks that should be provided special protection criteria).
