However, any vessel required to carry a marine radio on an interna- tional voyage, carrying a HF single side band radio telephone or ma- rine satellite terminal must have an FCC license. License application forms for ship and land stations can be downloaded free from the FCC web site at this address: www.fcc.gov/formpage.html. You may also order copies of these forms by calling the FCC Forms Dis- tribution Center at 1-800-418-36…

This unit does NOT use digital modulation. The data required by 2.1046 through 2.1055 is submitted below. 2.1046(a) RF_power_output. 80.215 (e)(1) RF power is measured by connecting a 50 ohm, re- sistive wattmeter to the RF output connector. With a nominal battery voltage, and the transmitter properly adjusted the RF output measures: OUTPUT POWER: HIGH: 25 W CONDUCTED LOW: 1 W CONDUCTED 80.911 (d)(5) For primary supply voltages, measured in accordance with the procedures in this paragraph, greater than 11.5 volts, but less than 12.6 volts, the required transmitter output power shall be equal or greater than the value calculated below P = 4.375(v) – 35.313 (For 12V this equals 17.2W) METHOD OF MEASURING RF POWER OUTPUT Transmitter 50 ohm under test Resistive Wattmeter Power Supply REPORT #: P\PONY_EP7\2204AUT5\2204AUT5TestReport.doc Page 2 of 17 TIMCO ENGINEERING INC. 849 NW State Road 45 Newberry, Florida 32669 http://www.timcoengr.com 888.472.2424 F 352.472.2030 email: [email protected] APPLICANT: PONY ELECTRIC CORPORATION FCC ID: EP78TQMT-300 TECHNICAL DATA: 80.203 (b) External Controls: The transmitter is capable of changing frequency between 156.05 – 157.425 MHz by external control. The available channels are shown in the User Manual description Channel List. These channels are preprogrammed by the manufacturer and change of frequency is inaccessible to the station operator. 80.203 (c) Five minutes continuous transmission test. The antenna was connected to a dummy load and the radio was locked in a transmit PTT mode. An external timer digital clock was used to observe the duration of the un-modulated transmission. The transmitter turned off and the radio went to receive mode at 4 minutes, 58 seconds as displayed by the external digital clock. 80.203 (n) This radio complies with the requirement for DSC capability in the 156 – 162 MHz band and in accordance with 80.225. 80.873; 80.956 Transmitter G3E emission capability: The transmitter was connected to 50 ohm resistive wattmeter and the frequency was set to 156.300 and to 156.800 MHz. With normal modulation, the output power displayed was 25 Watts at the high power setting and 1 watt at low power setting, consistent with previous measurements. The transmitter has been demonstrated to be capable, with normal operating voltages applied, of delivering 25 watts of carrier power into a 50 ohm resistive load over the spe…
