Equipped with RS-485 communications, the MCDT can be set up using a personal computer. The MCDT is capable of transmitting or receiving SEIWG-5 data messages, including a status code and distinct ID, over a radio frequency. This frequency is selectable via synthesizer control circuits, providing a selection of up to 1920 RF channels, depending on the model’s frequency range. The MCDT comes in Low-Band, Medium-Band, and High-Band models, having the following frequency ranges: Low Band Medium Band High Band Channel 001 = 138.025 MHz Channel 001 = 154.005 MHz Channel 001 = 162.00625 MHz Channel 600 = 153.000 MHz Channel 1600 = 162.000 MHz Channel 1920 = 174.000 MHz Antenna: MMCX plug to accept user-supplied antenna Power Supply: User-supplied, 4.8V to 16.5VDC nominal, 18 VDC absolute maximum Connections: Current Draw approximations: Mode Current Comments Sleep 33uA RS485 command will wake unit up Active 7.0mA Receiver Off / Microprocessor On Transmission(1Watt) 57ms @ 1.5A Pulse Current Provided by Super Caps Transmission(2Watt) 57ms @ 3A Pulse Current Provided by Super Caps Receiver On 12.6mA Receiver On – Waiting for valid RF message Receiver Active 16.9mA RF message received – Microprocessor On Design Features ID Code Selection 000-999…

9409 E. 55 th Place South Tulsa, Ok 74145 April 5, 2010 FCC Dear FCC: We are submitting a single model new application for a data radio to your office. The device is transmitting and receiving, approximately 2 watts, in the frequency band of 138 ~ 153 MHz. In our various documents, we call it our MCDT (Multi Channel Data Transceiver). The MCDT is a multi channel data transceiver that operates on 12.5 kHz spaced channels from 138 MHz to 153 MHz. This MCDT unit fulfills the requirements for a modular transmitter as enumerated below: 1. The MCDT has its own built in shielding system on top and bottom of the MCDT pc board. This shield completely encloses various sections of the unit: The transmitter, the power supply, the processor, the synthesizer/first IF, and the second IF. 2. The MCDT has buffered modulation inputs and Low pass filter. The actual modulation inputs come directly and only from the on board processor. 3. The MCDT has its own power supplies. It has a linear supply for the on board processor, a linear supply for the synthesizer/first IF, and a linear supply for the second IF. It also has an on board switching regulator that takes the input voltage and either steps it up or down to a selected voltage to provide power to the transmitter to control its output power. This supply is well filtered (rf wise) from the power input and its output to the power amplifier. In addition, the unit has a “piggy back power supply” that is attached to the top of the MCDT that provides filtered regulated dc voltage to the MCDT itself. This unit provides additional rf filtering to isolate the unit from external interface circuits. 4. The MCDT board antenna connector is an MMCX connector. The MCDT antenna is a specially built Qualtron antenna that is a ¼ wave wire antenna that has a unique antenna connection system consisting of an SMB male connector on the main unit and an SMB female connector on the antenna. 5. The MCDT was tested as a stand alone unit. The unit is normally battery powered. 6. The MCDT will be labeled as follows on the bottom shield: 7. The MCDT complies with all applicable operating requirements as determined by Timco conformance testing. 8. The MCDT complies with the MPE requirements by providing a safe separation distance of 30 cm between the antenna, including any radiating structure, and any persons when normally operated. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This device is approved with emissions having a source-based time-averaging duty factor not exceeding 50%. Please contact us or our agent Timco Engineering Inc. if you have questions.

4/8/2010 Page 1 of 3 FCCID: OGE-QTIMIDSMCDT FCC RF Exposure Requirements General information: FCC ID: OGE-QTIMIDSMCDT Device category: Mobile per Part 2.1091 Environment: Controlled Exposure Mobile devices that operate under Part 90 of this chapter are subject to routine environmental evaluation for RF exposure prior to equipment authorization or use if they operate at frequencies of 1.5 GHz or below and their effective radiated power (ERP) is 1.5 watts or more. However, compliance with the power density limits of 1.1310 is not required. Antenna: The manufacturer does not specify an antenna. A typical antenna for this type of radio in mobile service would be 0 to 2 dBi. This device has provisions for operation in a vehicle, or a fixed location. Configuration Antenna p/n Type Max. Gain (dBi) mobile any Omni 2 Operating configuration and exposure conditions: The conducted output power is 2.9 Watts. Typical use qualifies for a maximum duty cycle factor of 50%. The manufacturer markets this device where the use should be classed as general exposure use. - Part 2.1091 states that devices are excluded from routine evaluation if the EIRP is less than 2.46Watt (or 1.5WERP). - MPE Calculation: The minimum separation distance is calculated as follows: The limit for a general population uncontrolled exposure environment below 300 MHz is 0.2 mW/cm 2 . 4/8/2010 Page 2 of 3 FCCID: OGE-QTIMIDSMCDT Channel frequency: 138-153 MHz The conducted power output is 2.9 watt. Antenna gain was taken as 2 dBi 50% talk time in 30 minutes 4/8/2010 Page 3 of 3 FCCID: OGE-QTIMIDSMCDT Conclusion: The device complies with the MPE requirements by providing a safe separation distance of 30 cm between the antenna, including any radiating structure, and any persons when normally operated . Proposed RF exposure safety information to include in User’s Manual: “FCC RF Exposure Requirements: CAUTION: The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This device is approved with emissions having a source-based time- averaging duty factor not exceeding 50%.
