"SMR B" band Basestations occupy 935-940 Tx and 896 to 901 Rx. Nextel has begun expanding into that band for increased capacity.

900 and 1800 MHz are not used in the USA. Several sites do use 2.1, 2.4, 5.6 and
5.8 GHz for microwave connections from the cell sites to the switching centers.

Roger et al - Please be aware of the different bands used, based on the cell
company and the technology that they use.

Cingular, AT&T and others are using GSM/GPRS/Edge/UMTS (Coming) on 1920-1980
MHz paired with 2110 to 2170 MHz. (known as the 1.9 GHz. band).  The other
bands are 850, 900,  and 1800 MHz.  I don't think that 900 is used in the
USA.
