Data for 2.1046 through 2.1057 follow this section. C. RF Power Output (Section 2.1046 of the Rules) The FRS 307 has a permanently attached built-in antenna without provisions for a coaxial connector. RF power output was determined by substitution. TABLE 1 Operating Freq., MHz Power watts into a dipole antenna 462.5625 0.285 D. MODULATION CHARACTERISTICS (Section 2.1047) 1. A curve showing frequency response of the transmitter is shown in Figure 1. Reference level was audio signal output from a Boonton 8220 modulation meter with one kHz deviation. Audio output was measured with an Audio Precision System One integrated test system. 2. Modulation limiting curves are shown in Figure 2, using a Boonton 8220 modulation meter. Signal level was established with a Audio Precision System One integrated test system. The curves show compliance with Section 2.1047 and 95.633(b). 3. Figure 3 is a graph of the post-limiter low pass filter which provides a roll-off of 60Logf/3 dB where f is audio frequency in kHz. Measurements were made following EIA RS-152B with an Audio Precision System One integrated test system on the Boonton 8220 modulation meter audio output. 3 4. Occupied Bandwidth (Section 2.1047 and 95.629(a) of the Rules) Figure 4 is a plot of the sideband envelope of the transmitter output taken with a Tektronix 494P spectrum analyzer. Modulation corresponded to conditions of 2.1049(c)(1) and consisted of 2500 Hz tone at an input level 16 dB greater than that necessary to produce 50% modulation at 1795 Hz, the frequency of maximum response. Measured modulation under these conditions was 1.8 kHz.

SPURIOUS EMISSIONS AT THE ANTENNA TERMINALS The FRS 307 has a permanently attached antenna. There is no connector for an external antenna. Therefore, no antenna terminal conducted measurements were made. F. MEASUREMENTS OF SPURIOUS RADIATION (Section 2.1053, 95.635(b)(7) of the Rules) Measurements of radiated spurious emissions from the FRS 307 were made by substitution with a Tektronix 494P spectrum analyzer using Singer DM-105 for the measurements to 1 GHz, and EMCO 3115 horn to 4.8 GHz. The transmitter was located 3 meters from the test antenna. Supply voltage was a power supply with a terminal voltage under load of 6.0 Vdc. The transmitter and test antennae were arranged to maximize pickup. Both vertical and horizontal test antenna polarization were employed. Measurements were made from the lowest frequency generated within the unit (21.250 MHz), to 10 times operating frequency. Data after application of antenna factors and line loss corrections are shown in Table 2. 9 TABLE 2 TRANSMITTER CABINET RADIATED SPURIOUS 462.5625 MHz, 6.0 Vdc, 0.285 watts Spurious dB Below Frequency Carrier ___MHz___ Reference 462.563 0 925.127 40V 1387.689 52V 1850.252 45V Required: 43+10 Log(P) = 37 All other spurious from 21.25 MHz to the tenth harmonic were 20 dB or more below FCC limit. 10 H. FREQUENCY STABILITY (Section 2.1055 and 95.621(b) of the Rules) Measurement of frequency stability versus temperature was made at temperatures from -20 o C to +50 o C. At each temperature, the unit was exposed to test chamber ambient a minimum of 60…
