  1.1 1. INTRODUCTION The Kustom Signals FalconHR directional radar system comes from a long-standing commitment to the law enforcement community to provide quality, state-of-the-art speed measuring equipment. The FalconHR offers a wide range of features on this moving/stationary handheld K- Band radar system, yet allows easy operation and simple one-button mode changes. FalconHR units have the newest directional features; Dual Channel Microwave antenna and Directional Digital Signal Processing (DSP). This allows Kustom Signals to add features such as same direction with automatic add or subtract difference speed, fastest vehicle detection in all modes, TruTrak with Automatic Mode Switching (AMS), Smart Patrol Search (SPS) and stationary modes that allow the operator to select approaching only, receding only, or all targets identification. With these features, the officer can better identify the offending vehicle and eliminate much of the confusion of high traffic environments. All these features and performance standards are packed into this small, lightweight, corded or battery-operated unit…

November 13, 2006 Timco Engineering Inc. 849 NW State Road 45 Newberry, FL 32669 Office of Engineering and Technology Federal Communications Commission Columbia, MD 21046 Applicant: Kustom Signals, Inc. 9325 Pflumm Lenexa, KS 66215-3347 Re: Confidentiality for submittal information regarding FCC ID number IVQFAL-HR PRODUCT: Traffic Radar operating under part 15C. Dear Sirs: Kustom Signals, Inc. requests that the material in the Block Diagram, Schematics, and Operational Description be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with Section 0.459 of the Commissions Rules, 47 C.F.R. 0.459 (1998), following grant of the application. In support of this request, Kustom Signals, Inc. submits the following information. Block Diagram File FalconHR Block Diagram.pdf Schematic File 6278_Schematic.pdf Operational Description File IVQFALHR Operational Theory.pdf 1. Identification of the specific information for which confidential treatment is sought: The materials set fourth in the Operational Description, Block Diagram, and Schematics, which are segregated from the non-confidential exhibits of the application, are those for which confidentiality is sought. 2. Identification of the Commission proceeding in which the information was submitted or a description of the circumstances giving rise to the submission: The proceeding is that involving the application for equipment authorization (certification) under FCC ID No: IVQFAL-HR 3. Explanation of the degree to which the information is commercial or financial, or contains a trade secret or is privileged: This material includes a detailed theory of operation, circuit diagrams, (schematic diagrams) and detail Parts List. As such, this material is treated as highly confidential business information. ROGERS LABS, INC. 4405 West 259 th Terrace Louisburg, KS 66053 4. Explanation of the degree to which the information concerns a service that is subject to competition: The material for which confidentiality is sought is employed in the design and manufacture of this transmitting equipment that is offered on a highly competitive basis. Customers for this equipment have a variety of competing sources. 5. Explanation of how disclosure of the information could result in substantial competitive harm: Disclosure would, in effect, give away the fruits of the labors of Kustom Signals, Inc.’s engineering personnel, who have designed the equipment and the manufacturing process. Disclosure would also offer competitors additional unwarranted insight into the state of the product development, thereby allowing competitors an advantage, not available to Kustom Signals, Inc. 6. Identification of any measures taken by the submitting party to prevent unauthorized disclosure: The information for which confidential treatment is sought is kept confidential by Kustom Signals, Inc. and not made available to third parties except pursuant to non-disclosure agreements. 7. Identification of whether the information is available to the public and the extent of any previous disclosure of the information to third parties: To the knowledge of those preparing this application, the information has not been disclosed publicly heretofore. While the general theory of operation of this equipment has been the subject of numerous disclosures in industry and standards groups as well as in rule making proceedings of the FCC, the protection sought is narrowly drawn and pertains to certain specific implementations of this radio technology. 8. Justification of the period during which the submitting party asserts that the material should not be available for public disclosure: This material should not be disclosed for at least 25 years. While improvements in design are made relatively frequently, disclosure of the design information would lead to insights into both design and manufacturing techniques that could have an adverse competitive effect for many years to come. This equipment is designed for commercial, industrial, and governmental applications. As such, unlike most consumer equipment, this equipment could be used for more than a decade in some cases. As such, it is important that the design not be made available to unauthorized persons who might attempt to use knowledge of the design to compromise the applications for which the equipment will be employed. Should you require any further information, please contact the undersigned. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Scot Rogers
