This Notice announces the release of four revised Standard Radio System Plans (SRSPs) that take into account the spectrum policy decisions announced in SP 3-30 GHz under Gazette Notice DGTP-008-04. Specifically, the following SRSPs have been revised: 

1. Technical Requirements for Fixed Line-of-Sight Radio Systems Operating in the Band 3700-4200 MHz, (SRSP 303.7, Issue 2) . This Standard replaces SRSP 303.7, Issue 1.
   
   
2. Technical Requirements for Fixed Line-of-Sight Radio Systems Operating in the Band 5925‑6425 MHz, (SRSP 305.9, Issue 4). This Standard replaces SRSP 305.9, Issue 3.
   
   
3. Technical Requirements for Fixed Line-of-Sight Radio Systems Operating in the Band 6425‑6930 MHz, (SRSP 306.4, Issue 5) . This Standard replaces SRSP 306.4, Issue 4.
   
   
4. Technical Requirements for Fixed Line-of-Sight Radio Systems Operating in the Band 7725‑8275 MHz, (SRSP 307.7, Issue 5). This Standard replaces SRSP 307.7, Issue 4.
   
   

These documents are amended in several areas, including transmitter characteristics and antenna radiation envelope standards. Except for SRSP 303.7, new provisions have been made for low-capacity, point‑to‑point fixed radio systems. New provisions for medium-capacity fixed systems are also made in SRSP 305.9. In both SRSP 303.7 and SRSP 305.9, the minimum growth requirement as a condition for use of these bands has been eliminated.

The revisions have been coordinated with the Radio Advisory Board of Canada (RABC).
