                                                           EXHIBIT 1

                           NEXTEL SECURITIES AGREEMENT

     The Parties have, as an integral part of their marital settlement, reached
a settlement of all issues and wish to set forth the essential terms having to
do with the Nextel Communications, Inc. stock and options (collectively, the
"Nextel Securities") owned by the Parties in this Agreement, which will be
binding and enforceable between them.  This Agreement shall be effective as of
October 10, 1997.

     1.   PROPERTY DIVISION.  The Parties shall allocate to Wendy P. McCaw
          ("Wife") 9,257,659 shares of common stock of Nextel, together with the
          following options (collectively, the "Nextel Options"):
            i.   Motorola 1999:        452,207
            ii.  Nextel 1999:        3,391,553
            iii. Motorola 2001:      1,116,990
            iv:  Nextel 2001:        1,525,725

     2.   ALLOCATION.  The Nextel shares allocated to Wife will be distributed
          free of all liens and encumbrances and will be vested in Wife's name.
          The Nextel shares shall be freely transferable by Wife, subject to
          compliance with the applicable securities and other laws and SEC
          regulations, including insider trading rules, and, to the extent
          applicable to Wife, Company-established policies and rules relating to
          insider trading and non-public information.  Except for the
          shareholder rights and minority protections in Sections 7 through 9
          herein which shall supersede the following provisions, Wife's
          ownership of shares in Nextel shall be subject to terms and
          restrictions contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 4,
          1995; the Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 4, 1995; the
          Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Digital
          Radio, L.L.C. ("Digital Radio"); the Multibank Credit Agreement dated
          July 28, 1995; the Borrower Pledge Agreement; the Third Party Pledge
          Agreements; the Amended and Restated Multibank Credit Agreement dated
          July 28, 1997; the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Multibank
          Credit Agreement dated August 29, 1997; and the Motorola Drawdown
          dated September 3, 1997.

     3.   CLOSING.  The Parties shall use best efforts to transfer stock of
          Nextel to Wife by October 31, 1997, subject to the provisions of
          Section 6 below.

     4.   NEXTEL SHARES.  As an integral part of the distribution of Nextel
          stock from Digital Radio to Eagle River Investments, LLC ("Eagle
          River"), Wife agrees to assume and guarantee her proportionate share,
          or at least $101,800,581 thereof, of total debt in Digital Radio,
          based on the ratio of her deemed ownership of units in Digital Radio
          (through Eagle River) to the total units in Digital Radio, or, if such
          assumption and guarantee is administratively burdensome, instead to
          guarantee an equal amount of new Digital Radio debt replacing and
          paying down the existing Digital Radio debt.  Wife also agrees to
          continue her guarantee of such debt upon transfer of her Nextel shares
          to Eagle River and to assume such debt upon the transfer of such
          shares to her from Eagle River.  Rather than performing as discussed
          in the preceding portion of this paragraph, Wife shall have the option
          of retaining part or all of her Nextel shares in Eagle River or
          Digital Radio as set forth in paragraph 6 below.  In such case, the
          Parties will discuss a mechanism pursuant to which Wife can require
          such stock to be sold by Digital Radio and/or Eagle River with Wife to
          bear the tax consequences of any such


                                      - 1 -

          sale, subject to all SEC rules, including insider trading rules and
          Company-established policies and rules regarding insider trading and
          non-public information.

     5.   NEXTEL OPTIONS.  Wife will receive the benefits of ownership of the
          Nextel Options through Digital Radio.  The Nextel Options are
          exercisable only by Craig O. McCaw ("Husband") or entities he controls
          and Husband has represented that ownership cannot be directly
          transferred to Wife under the terms of the applicable option
          agreements.  Since the Nextel Options cannot be transferred, the
          Parties intend to enable Wife to have, as closely as possible, the
          same rights as she would have had if she directly owned them.  Wife
          will indemnify Husband against and pay the tax liability arising from
          the exercise of the Nextel Options for her benefit, including any tax
          costs internal to the entities that actually hold and exercise the
          Nextel Options, and Wife will pay all exercise costs of all Nextel
          Options.

     6.   WIFE'S OPTION.  Wife shall have the option of retaining part or all of
          her Nextel shares in Eagle River and/or Digital Radio on the following
          terms and conditions.  (Wife's rights as to Nextel Options are as
          described in paragraph 5.)  The LLC Agreement of Eagle River would be
          amended to continue her as a member and to accurately reflect her
          separate interest in Nextel.  Upon 30 days notice and, notwithstanding
          any restrictions to the contrary in the limited liability company
          agreements of Eagle River or Digital Radio, Wife would be entitled to
          cause Eagle River and/or Digital Radio to distribute Wife's Nextel
          stock to her.  Any such distribution to her would be free and clear of
          all liens and liabilities and Husband will use best efforts to assure
          that, after any such distribution, Wife will have those existing
          rights that are applicable to Nextel in its present status within
          Digital Radio and/or Eagle River.  Alternatively, Wife shall have the
          right to require Eagle River and/or Digital Radio to sell her
          proportionate share of Nextel stock at her sole cost, effort and
          expense, and to receive the proceeds therefrom as a distribution, all
          subject to applicable securities and other laws and SEC regulations,
          and, to the extent applicable to Wife, all Company-established
          policies and rules regarding insider trading and non-public
          information.  Wife will bear the tax consequences of any such sale.
          Wife will be able freely to pledge or mortgage her interest in Eagle
          River, provided that any such pledgee or mortgagee holder will agree
          that, in the event of any foreclosure, the only requirement of Eagle
          River is that it distribute to such pledgee or mortgagee holder Wife's
          Nextel stock and its only rights with respect to Eagle River will be
          to obtain such Nextel stock.  The Parties agree that the tax issues
          relating to withdrawal of the Nextel stock will be handled in the same
          manner as the Parties utilize with respect to other securities being
          dealt with as a result of their marital settlement.  Prior to
          distribution, Wife would have approval rights with respect to any
          changes in the Eagle River and/or Digital Radio governing documents
          that would adversely effect her Nextel stock.  If a majority in
          interest of the Eagle River and/or Digital Radio members approves
          changes in the Eagle River and/or Digital Radio governing documents,
          and Wife disapproves of such changes, and the changes do not
          discriminate against her interest and apply uniformly to all other
          Eagle River and/or Digital Radio members, then Eagle River and/or
          Digital Radio may distribute Wife's Nextel stock to her if she does
          not withdraw her disapproval.  Wife's rights under this paragraph are
          subject to applicable law, 


                                      - 2 -

          including securities laws, and to the Nextel documents listed in 
          paragraph 2 hereof.

     7.   TAG ALONG.  Wife will have tag along rights with respect to Nextel in
          connection with any sale or transfer or series of related sales by
          Husband or an entity controlled by him of control of Nextel or of 50%
          or more of the interest in Nextel owned by him or any of his
          controlled entities.

     8.   REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  Wife will not receive any demand registration
          rights with respect to Nextel other than those she may otherwise have
          by virtue of other agreements.  Wife will receive piggyback
          registration rights as to any registration in which Husband or any of
          his affiliates has a right to register any Nextel shares.

     9.   INFORMATION RIGHTS.  Wife shall, at her option, have the right to
          receive the following information from Husband with respect to Nextel
          beginning at the earliest of a) 60 days prior to the time they must
          exercise any Nextel options, or b) such earlier time as Husband
          reaches a decision whether to exercise or c) directs the investigation
          of financing alternatives: (i) whether Husband intends to exercise
          such Nextel options; and (ii) all of the written information available
          to him upon which he has based his decision.  Wife will not use any
          non-public information given to her pursuant to this paragraph 9 in
          connection with publicly purchasing or selling Nextel securities nor
          will she improperly disclose such non-public information to third
          parties.

     10.  DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The Parties agree to resolve any disputes under
          this Agreement in the same manner as they utilize to resolve other
          disputes arising out of their marital settlement.

     11.  AMENDMENTS, ETC.  This Agreement supersedes any and all other prior
          understandings or agreements concerning the ownership of the Nextel
          Securities.  The Parties may in connection with other matters arising
          out of the settlement of their marital property, amend, modify of
          supplement the terms and provisions of this Agreement, but such
          amendments, modifications or supplements shall not be effective unless
          set forth in a writing executed by both Parties dated subsequent
          hereto.

     12.  OTHER.  This Agreement a) may be specifically enforced, and the
          Parties agree that in cases where specific enforcement is feasible, it
          will not be urged that a remedy at law is adequate or preferable; b)
          is governed by Washington law; c) shall be kept confidential except as
          reasonably determined by each party in the ordinary course of
          business; d) may be executed in multiple counterparts and by FAX; e)
          shall remain in full force and effect in case of the death of either
          or both Parties and may be enforced by or against the estate of
          either.  Each party warrants that he or she has been fully advised by
          counsel with respect to this Agreement.
