NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Released: February 23, 2007
By the Resident Agent, Buffalo Office, Northeast Region, Enforcement
Bureau:
1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
1.89 of the Commission's Rules, to Honeywell International Inc
("Honeywell"), licensee of aeronautical station WPXH546.
2. On February 8, 2007, an agent of the Commission's Buffalo Office
investigated a complaint of harmful interference to Jet Blue Airline's
radio system on the frequency of 136.6 MHz at the Syracuse, New York
Airport. The agent observed the following violation :
47 C.F.R. S 87.139(a)(3): "The mean power of any emission removed from the
assigned frequency by more than 250 percent of the authorized bandwidth
must be attenuated at least 43 + 10 log P below the mean power of the
transmitter." The agent determined that Honeywell is authorized to operate
on a frequency of 136.475 MHz with a power of 15 watts. The agent observed
a spurious emission from the Honeywell transmitter on 136.6 MHz. The
emission on 136.6 MHz was attenuated only 33 dB and was causing harmful
interference to Jet Blue communications. The signal on 136.6 MHz should
have been attenuated at least 54 dB.
3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Honeywell must
submit a written statement concerning this matter within twenty (20)
days of release of this Notice. The response must fully explain each
violation, must contain a statement of the specific action(s) taken to
correct each violation and preclude recurrence, and should include a
time line for completion of pending corrective action(s). The response
must be complete in itself and signed by a principal or officer of
Honeywell. All replies and documentation sent in response to this
Notice should be marked with the File No. and NOV No. specified above,
and mailed to the following address:
Federal Communications Commission

Williamsville, New York 14221
4. This Notice shall be sent to Honeywell, Inc. at its address of
record.
5. The Privacy Act of 1974 requires that we advise you that the
Commission will use all relevant material information before it,
including any information disclosed in your reply, to determine what,
if any, enforcement action is required to ensure compliance. Any false
statement made knowingly and willfully in reply to this Notice is
punishable by fine or imprisonment under Title 18 of the U.S. Code.
