21817 USCG Notification Not Required: PHALCON-NT Page 1 of 1 Professional Testing (EMI) Inc. 1601 North A.W. Grimes Blvd., Suite B Round Rock, TX 78665 e-mail: [email protected] (512) 244-3371 Fax: (512) 244-1846 Regarding: US Coast Guard Notification Requirement As an exclusively designed radar transponder (RACON), this device is intended for installation at fixed locations to mark maritime navigational hazards by responding to signals from a passing ships radar. RACONs are not subject to USCG notification prior to FCC authorization. USCG notification is required for other technology (AIS-SART, VDSMS, EPIRB) as specified in FCC R&O 16-119. This is generally VHF/UHF radio devices using maritime radio channels for active navigation. Such devices are used on board ships or are for search and rescue locators. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIS-SART https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_position-indicating_radiobeacon_station Signed: Eric Lifsey ***

DISCLOSURE OR REPRODUCTION IS FORBIDDEN UNLESS AUTHORISED Registered Address: 14 Castle Mews, Hampton, England, TW12 2NP οƒ— Company Reg. No. 06757705 οƒ— VAT Reg. No. GB222645483 Pharos Marine Automatic Power Unit 2 Lancelot Road Beacon Business Park Great Yarmouth NR31 7BF Equipment Description The equipment is a marine radar beacon system (RACON) capable of responding to S-band and X- band pulsed radars in compliance with the ITU recommendations ITU-R M.824-2 β€˜Technical Parameters of Radar Beacons’. The RACON is a receiver/transmitter transponder device used as a navigation aid, identifying landmarks or buoys on a shipboard marine radar display. The RACON responds to a received radar pulse by transmitting an identifiable mark back to the radar set. The displayed response has a length on a radar monitor corresponding to a few nautical miles and is encoded as a Morse character beginning with a dash for identification. Equipment Identification The RACON will be labelled with the manufacturer’s part number as well as the purchasers name and logo. External connection points will also be identified. Manufacturer Part: Phalcon-NT Manufacturer: Variant Differences: This unit conforms in all respects with the LW26-701189, also manufactured by Linwave Technology, Ltd excepting that the external logo label refers to Pharos Marine Automatic Power, references its address and their type number. Unit 2 Lancelot Road Beacon Business Park Great Yarmouth NR31 7BF Model: PHALCON-NT FCC ID 2ARGZPHALCON-NT Serial Number: 0001 THIS IS THE PROPERTY OF Pharos Marine Automatic Power . DISCLOSURE OR REPRODUCTION IS FORBIDDEN UNLESS AUTHORISED Registered Address: 14 Castle Mews, Hampton, England, TW12 2NP οƒ— Company Reg. No. 06757705 οƒ— VAT Reg. No. GB222645483 The TCF for the LW26-701189 therefore fully describes the build standard and performance of the Phacon-NT brand and it will be maintained appropriately for the two brands. Due to the purely cosmetic nature of the differences between the two brands Linwave Technology Ltd asserts that the testing carried out on the LW26-701189 is also valid for the Phalcon-NT brand and that this also means the Phalcon-NT brand does not require additional testing to support certification. Linwave Technology Ltd grants Pharos Marine Automatic Power the rights to use the related I.P, test results and submissions for its prior LW26-701189 certification.
