          Appeal No. 95-5053                                                          
          Application 08/048,188                                                      

          from 824-894 mHz" (col. 2, lines 48-51).  The admitted prior                
          art of appellant's figure 3 shows that the cellular handset                 
          transmits in the frequency band of 824-849 MHz and receives in              
          the frequency band of 869-894 MHz.                                          
               Rose teaches that conventional prior art cordless                      
          telephones used a radio frequency band usually in the 46 and                
          49 MHz bands and used Narrow-Band Frequency Modulation (NBFM)               
          (col. 1, lines 27-35), but that revised FCC regulations                     
          authorized cordless radio channels in the frequency band of                 
          902-928 MHz (col. 2, lines 55-61).  Rose teaches a cordless                 
          telephone where the handset and the base unit communicate                   
          using frequency shift keying (FSK) in the 902-928 MHz band                  
          where, for example, the base unit operates in the frequency                 
          band of 905.6-907.5 MHz and the handset operates in the                     
          frequency band of 925.5-927.4 MHz (col. 4, lines 50-54).                    
          Thus, the handset in Rose transmits in the frequency band of                
          925.5-927.4 MHz and receives in the frequency band of                       
          905.6-907.5 MHz.                                                            
               The examiner concludes that it would have been obvious to              
          one of ordinary skill in the art to modify the                              
          cordless/cellular telephone of Gillig to use the 900 MHz band               

                                        - 6 -
