High-power repeaters for satellite digital audio radio service (DARS) won’t interfere significantly with wireless communications service (WCS), Sirius Satellite Radio said in FCC filing responding to WCS entities (CD Feb 1 p9). Sirius submitted theoretical coverage plots for high-power transmitters that it said showed signal strengths well below interference threshold. Sirius, responding to claims that DARS might be allowed more than 1,000 high-power repeaters, said that was “irrelevant” because “1,000 times nothing [no interference] is still nothing.”
