Each of eight channels can be programmed to contain a unique set of operating frequencies. The High Power DTX Plus module is made up of two PC boards, an RF board and a control/loader board. These two boards are enclosed in a metal case with two connectors on one end; a 50 ohm BNC connector for connection to an antenna and a DB-15 sub-miniature connector for control input/output and a power input connector on the other end. In addition, the RF board/heat sink assembly is available as a stand-alone unit for system integrators. 1.2 MODEL IDENTIFICATION The part number system for the High Power DTX Plus module is as follows: The module has a part number in the form of “DTX-A65-BCDEF” where: A is the major frequency band designator: 1=VHF (136-174 MHz bands) 2=216-222 MHz band 3=340-400 MHz bands 4=UHF (400-430 MHz and 450-470 MHz bands) B is the sub-band designator: G=136-162 for #1 above , 340-360 MHz for #3 above, and 400-430 MHz for #4 above. A=420-440 B=430-450 O=148-174 for #1 above, 216-222 for #2 above, 360-380 for #3 above, and 450-470 for #4 above. M=380-400 for #3 above. C=470-490 T=490-512 Note that not all of the sub-bands listed above may be available, and that other sub-bands may become available. C is the connector designator: B=BNC connector D designates the IF bandwidth: W=wide (25/30 kHz channel bandwidth) N=narrow (12.5/15 kHz channel bandwidth) S=very narrow (5/ 6.25/ 7.5 kHz channel bandwidth) E designates the maximum power level: 30=30 watts F designates whether the control/loader board has a regulator and if so, at what current level: I=high current regulator; the unit operates from 10-15 volts at 30 watts max. Example: A DTX-265-OBN30I would be a VHF module for operation between 216 and 222 MHz with a BNC RF connector, narrow (12.5 kHz channel bandwidth) IF bandwidth, 30 watts maximum output power, and an internal regulator to allow operation from 10 to 15 volts. The part number system for a stand-alone RF board/Heat Sink assembly is the same as that for a module except that “F” designator (regulator option) does not exist and a “D” is appended at the end. 1.3 FCC REGULATIONS 1.3.1 LICENSING For those frequency bands governed by FCC rules, the FCC requires that the radio owner obtain a station license for his radio before using the equipment to transmit, but does not require an operating license or permit. The station licensee is responsible for proper operation and maintenance of his radio equipment, and for ensuring that transmitter power, frequency and deviation are within the limits specified by the station license. This includes checking the transmitter frequency and deviation periodically using appropriate methods. Note also, that wideband operation (25/30 kHz channel bandwidth) may not be permitted. 1.3.2 PRODUCT CERTIFICATION The High Power DTX modules are certified by the FCC for operation in the United States and by Industry Canada for operation in Canada on certain frequency bands and sub-bands for transmission of either voice or data signals when aligned according to the alignment procedure for the proper bandwidth and when operated as a complete unit in the metal case. Operation of the RF board as a stand-alone unit or in combination with any other equipment, in any mode outside the alignment procedure, or with the clipper filter electronically disabled will require the filing of a new type acceptance application with the FCC by the user. 1.3.3 SAFETY STANDARDS-RF EXPOSURE (DTX-165/265, 365/465)) RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION, AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS: BEFORE USING THIS 2-WAY RADIO, READ THIS IMPORTANT RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE FCC’S AND IC’S RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES. NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC/IC limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other use. This 2-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy.

Columbia, MD 21046 Re: Extended Frequency Justification on FCC ID: AIERIT34-4650 To whom it may concern: The DTX-465 30 watt OEM radio module was designed to operate in the frequency band 450-470 MHz. To aid equipment authorization in other countries within ITU regions 1, 2 or 3 which accept the United States FCC Grant for certification, Ritron is requesting that the FCC lists the frequencies 450-470 MHz under FCC Rule Parts 90 on the FCC Grant. This product is also intended for Federal end users. For the FCC’s Rule Part 90 applications, this radio is used in systems by OEM systems integrators as indicated in the table below. Equipment programming is the responsibility of Authorized Service Personnel. Also, the radio complies with 47 CFR Part 90.203(e) in that the operator cannot directly program the transmit frequencies using the normally accessible external controls. Per the FCC’s KDB634817 guidance, “as an alternative to listing the exact frequencies, we acknowledge that it’s a violation of the FCC Rules if this device operates on unauthorized frequencies.” Frequency Range (MHz) Part 90 Federal Customers/ Not Part 90 Grant Notes Emission Designator Part 90 450.0000 – 454.0000 x EF 11K0F3E 454.0000 – 456.0000 x EF 11K0F3E 456.0000 – 462.5375 x EF 11K0F3E 462.5375 – 462.7375 x EF 11K0F3E 462.7375 – 467.5375 x EF 11K0F3E 467.5375 – 467.7375 x EF 11K0F3E 467.7375 – 470.0000 x EF 11K0F3E Sincerely, Sam L.

TYPE OF EXHIBIT: RF EXPOSURE EVALUATION FCC PART: 1.1310 MANUFACTURER: RITRON, Inc. MODEL: DTX-465 TYPE OF UNIT: UHF Transceiver Module FCC ID: AIERIT34-4650 DATE: December 8, 2015 PROCEDURE: Because this product is used as a mobile device, an RF evaluation was done. The RF evaluation entailed testing the unit on RITRON’S 3-meter range to determine EIRP and then calculating the minimum safe distance from the antenna necessary to ensure compliance with the appropriate RF exposure limits. 1. The measurement for effective radiated power was taken at the RITRON, Inc. 3-meter test site, details of which are on file with the FCC and Industry Canada. 2. The DUT was aligned for transmitter operation on lower, middle and upper band edge frequencies at the 30 watt maximum output power rating of the DTX-465 per the tune-up procedure outlined in the Maintenance Manual. The unit was then terminated at the antenna port in a quarterwave magnetic mount antenna which is typical of what might be used with this product. (The user may connect other antennas, however.) 3. All field strength measurements were made with the Hewlett-Packard Model 8560E Spectrum Analyzer and an Electro-Metrics EM-6924 adjustable dipole antenna tuned to the carrier frequency. 4. A quarter wave vertical antenna (0 dBi gain) was connected to the DUT via its cable and tested above a 0.5m x 0.5 m ground plane. The height of the field strength measurement antenna and the azimuth orientation of the antenna were varied to provide maximum field strength. The maximum levels were noted. 5. A substitution antenna, an adjustable dipole, was substituted for the quarter wave antenna at the DTX-465’s previous location. An RF signal generator was set for the frequency of the DUT with the level at the substitution antenna noted. 6. The height of the receiving antenna was adjusted for maximum signal strength. The level at the receiving antenna was noted. TYPE OF EXHIBIT: RF EXPOSURE EVALUATION FCC PART: 1.1310 MANUFACTURER: RITRON, Inc. MODEL: DTX-465 TYPE OF UNIT: UHF Transceiver Module FCC ID: AIERIT34-4650 DATE: December 8, 2015 EQUATIONS FOR EIRP: The substitution antenna is specified from the manufacturer in terms of antenna factor rather than antenna gain. The conversion is: Ga(dbd) = 20 log f (MHz) – AF(dB) – 31.9 The effective radiated power (ERP) is then: ERP(dBm) = Pr(dBm) + Pgen(dBm) – Ps(dBm) – Ga(dBd) Where: Pr is the power level of the radio’s emission at the receiving antenna output. Pgen is the RF signal generator level at the substitution antenna input. Ps is the power level of the substitution antenna emission at the receiving antenna output. Ga is the gain of the substitution antenna. The ERP is converted to watts from dBm by: ERP(watts) = antilog 10 ((ERP(dBm) – 30)/10) And finally, ERP is converted to EIRP (isotropic radiator) by: EIRP = 1.64 (ERP/2) RESULTS FOR EIRP: @ 30 Watts Frequency Pr Pgen Ps Ga ERP ERP EIRP (MHz) (dBm) (dBm) (dBm) (dBd) (dBm) (watts) (watts) 451.025 19.3 -1.6 -27.5 0.6 +44.6 29.1 23.9 460.025 19.7 -2.0 -27.4 0.4 +44.7 29.5 24.2 469.975 19.7 -1.8 -27.3 0.3 +44.9 31.3 25.7 TYPE OF EXHIBIT: RF EXPOSURE EVALUATION FCC PART: 1.1310 MANUFACTURER: RITRON, Inc. MODEL: DTX-465 TYPE OF UNIT: UHF Transceiver Module FCC ID: AIERIT34-4650 DATE: December 8, 2015 DETERMINING MPE DISTANCE: Power density is related to EIRP: S(W/m 2 ) = EIRP(W)/4r 2 where r is the distance from the source in meters. Rearranging for distance: _________ r = (EIRP/4S) The MPE (maximum permissible exposure) for a device operating in a occupational/controlled exposure environment is 1 mW/cm 2 . Converting to W/m 2 , the limit becomes 3 W/m 2 . The MPE limit is substituted for S and EIRP is entered in the above equation.
