American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 August 13, 2003 RE: Icom Incorporated FCC ID: AFJ236801 After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. General/EMC 1) The External photograph does not appear to have been provided. The file uploaded as external photographs was entitled “FR40001-Tuning Procedure”. Please provide external photographs 2) The schematics only list reference designators. The FCC requires that the schematics actually contain values. Please provide schematics that include the component values. 3) The test report page 9 states that the device was tested at the lowest, near middle, and highest channels (400.10, 415.50, 429.90). However the tune up procedure appears to suggest that the lowest channel is 400.0750 and the highest channel is 429.9250. Please explain. 4) Section 6.7 of the report references 90.242(b)(8) which is for the travelers information service. Additionally, the plot & data contained in section 6.7.5 actually show failing data at 3.0 and 3.5 kHz. The limit and section 90.242 of the rules do not appear relevant to this device. Please explain and/or adjust the report. 5) Specifications in the users manual mention 3 frequency bands (400-430, 430-450, & 450-480 MHz), while the application only appears to cover one of these ranges. Please explain. 6) This device appears to use an optional scrambler. Please provide information to explain compliance to 90.212. 7) It is uncertain how the device gets setup for frequency/channel assignments. Please explain compliance with 90.203(e) & (g). 8) The occupied bandwidth should be measured to the outside points of modulated sidelobes of the emissions noted. Please explain and/or correct.

General/EMC 1) It is uncertain if the optional scrambler is analog or digital in nature. Please explain so we can verify the F3E emissions designator is applicable. Note that use of digital scrambler techniques requires an emissions designator F1E (90.212a/b) and may require additional line entries to the 731 form. Timothy R.

Hi Mr. Johnson, The device does NOT use digital, it use ANALOG voice inversion. The Emission Designation shall G3E. Tri Luu, PEng. Ultratech Engineering Labs Inc. Page 1 of 1In 9/2/2003Printed for "Timothy R. Johnson" <[email protected]>

Aug. 26, 2003 Ref: FCC ID: AFJ236801, ATCB Comments 081103 Hi Mr. Johnson, Please find reply as below: (1) The external photos were uploaded again to ATCB site (2) If the schematics does not indicate values, parts list shall be provided. We provide both schematics and parts list and it shall be OK. (3) FCC procedures says tests at NEAR lowest, middle and highest frequencies, and we did. Besides this is a Licensed Devices. It will require User’s License for operating frequencies in different regions. (4) FCC changed rules many years ago. Audio Frequency Response Limits are not required to be met. However, tests are required to be performed to show the roll-off at 3 kHz. (5) This is a Universal Users’ Manual for all bands. ATCB has certified the 450- 480 MHz band early of this year. We never have problem to submit a Universal Users manual for a single Model with FCC. (6) Please find the revised test report with additional Emissions Masks for operation with a scrambler. Icom will reply with its intended operation to meet FCC 90.212. (7) Please find the Manufacturer’s letter to confirm the compliance to 90.203(e)&(g). (8) The occupied bandwidth is a 99% power bandwidth. It was measured using automatic function of a spectrum analyzer to measure the bandwidth where it contains 99% of the total power. I am not so sure why your questions concerns about all points of the modulated sidelobes.
