A system identifies analog channels for reclamation in a dual mode system ( ) having a digital network ( ) overlaid on an analog network ( ). The digital network ( ) includes multiple digital cell sites. The analog network ( ) includes multiple analog cell sites. The system measures an amount of interference caused by the analog cell sites and an amount of interference caused to the digital cell sites. The system then compares the interference amounts to one or more thresholds and determines for which of the analog channels the interference amounts exceed the thresholds. The system selects the determined analog channels for reclamation.
