That would be correct, we do not care or ask what equipment is being utilized unless it is provided to us by the applicant to assist them in completing their application. Officially we only need the technical data (antenna HAAT, transmitter output, ERP, etc.). In Florida we are actually a pretty bright bunch that are aware of the different configurations and equipment types, but we do not use this information to weigh one coordination request against another or the ability to be granted a coordination.
