Quick Talk transmits your voice message when the switch change occurs and at intervals you select. Because you provide and connect the switches to your Quick Talk units, they can report changes due to intrusion, tamper, equipment malfunction, liquid level, machinery, pressure, temperature, power, smoke or leakage. The Quick Talk is easily programmed to transmit on your existing or new radio frequency and also encodes the most popular sub-audible coded squelch formats such as Quiet Call® or Digital Quiet Call TM . This enables all of your personnel with JOBCOM, PATRIOT or equivalent two-way radios to hear the voice messages instantly, and to be alerted to the current condition of each monitored location or device. Quick Talk is housed in a weather-resistant enclosure so that it can be installed in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor locations. You don't have to supply AC line power to the Quick Talk because its six internal AA Alkaline batteries will power the unit for about a year. QUICK TALK MODELS AND FREQUENCIES There are two separate Quick Talk models, one for each of the most popular professional radio communications bands. The model number appears on a label on the front of the case and a second label is placed inside the case. MODELBANDFREQUENCY RANGE RQT-150VHF-FM150 to 165 MHz RQT-450UHF-FM450 to 470 MHz Ritron manufactures mobile, portable and base station two- way radios and repeaters for use with Quick Talk, and pioneered the use of Color Dots on radios to identify frequencies. The factory-programmed, default frequencies for Quick Talk are Blue Dot (154.570 MHz) for VHF units, and Blue Star (467.925 MHz) for UHF units. The instruc- tions on page 4 describe how easy it is for the owner to change the Quick Talk transmit fr…

Equipment Authorization Application Exhibit. RITRON, INC. FCC ID: AIERIT09-150 Page 5 of 29 EXHIBIT TYPE:Radio Frequency Power Output FCC PART:2.985 DATE:December 14, 1998 PROCEDURE: An RQT-150 was aligned for transmitter operation on 154.540 MHz. (Fo) per the tune-up procedure outlined in the preliminary manual. The output of a variable DC power supply was applied to the external DC power terminals of the unit. The RQT-150 antenna connector was connected to the input of the HP Power Meter. This device provides a single 50 Ohm resistively loaded input port for all measurements. The voltages across the resistor in series with the final RF power transistor were measured and Ohm’s Law was used to determine the collector current. The DC power supply voltage applied to the unit was varied from 6 to 15 Volts DC. The measured transmitter output power remained constant across this range of input voltages. This is attributable to the fact that supply voltages to the transmitter are regulated to a fixed voltage regardless of the applied power supply voltage.

(Fo) per the tune-up procedure contained in the preliminary manual. The modulation input to the transmitter was isolated by breaking the TX MOD line between the RQT Control and Transmitter boards. The HP Test Set’s Audio Generator output was connected to the Transmitter Board’s TX MOD. The frequency response of the modulator was determined to be flat within +/-1.5 from 10 Hz to 27,000 Hz. The slight variation is response is at a low frequency and is due to the two point synthesizer reference and VCO modulation method. The following pages show the results in tabular and graphical form.
