Subject: Lab tests on modified NBI-PAD1000 This Report supplements the original Certification filing for Electronic Tracking Systems, Inc., subsidiary of PRONET, Inc. and addresses the compliance issues raised by your correspondence 3047. The client has reworked the transmitter section and provided three test units that comply with the requirement to test low, mid and high operating frequency with the hopping stopped (he actually provided four units). The RF PC board is a different layout from the one pictured in Photo 6 through 8 of the original test report. New photographs of the PCB and the modifications made to bring the NBI-PAD1000 into compliance are provided herein. I have included the spreadsheet that I used to calculate the 15.209 emission limit line for use in logging on the OATS. As you see the 2.4 dB pulse correction factor, antenna, and other conversions have been used to construct the three meter emission limit for this particular FHSS transmitter. This presentation shows radiated peak and average emissions for the fundamental as well as harmonics when measured at three meters for each of the four transmitters supplied. Each EUT now appears to meet the Commissions requirements for harmonic emissions. Also included are the field notes using the calculated limits. The sa readings are raw (uncompensated for anything) which makes error analysis a bit easier for us. The antenna factors and amp gain were checked for minimum variation over each band. Low frequency emissions (10 KHz - 1GHz) were verified to be within the limits of 15.209 for the hopper and the high band CW EUT. I believe that all other compliance issues have been satisfactorily answered in the original application or previous correspondence.
