This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only” meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment. This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, your Com- Net Ericsson radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans: WARNING 4 • FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. • American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. • American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave. CAUTION To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines: 5 • DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by Com-Net Ericsson or an antenna specifically authorized by Com-Net Ericsson for use with this radio. • DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX” LED on top of the radio is lit. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” button. • ALWAYS use Com-Net Ericsson authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/ Controlled Exposure RF compliance requirements to be exceeded. 6 • ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna at least 2.0 cm (0.8 inch) away from the body and 5 cm (2 inches) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. This radio has been tested for RF exposure compliance at a distance of 1.3 cm from the body and 4.0 cm from the face for a worse case scenario. However, to provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, and slightly off to one side. The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of a RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. 7 Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility During transmissions, your Com- Net Ericsson radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites. 8 SAFE PRACTICE INFORMATION The operator of any land mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common to the operation of radio transmitters. A list of several possible hazards is given: 1. Explosive Atmospheres - Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These may be fueling areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Turn OFF your radio when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that the radio or its accessories could generate sparks. 9 2. Electronics Systems - RF energy from your portable radio may affect some electronic equipment. Most modern electronic equipment in cars, hospitals, homes, etc. are shielded from RF energy. However, in areas that instruct you to turn off two- way radio equipment, always observe the rules. If in doubt, power the radio OFF. 3…

Model: Panther 300P VHF-(136-155 MHz) FCC ID: OWDTR-0010-A FCC Certification Report Page 40 APPENDIX B: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 1. CIRCUIT ANALYSIS The VHF – Low split PANTHER 300P (KRD 103 153/1) is a 6-channel, dual-conversion, super- heterodyne FM land mobile radio transceiver operating in the 136 – 155 MHz band. It is designed to meet FCC, Canadian, EU regulatory requirements and the land mobile radio industry standard TIA/EIA-603. RECEIVER Receiver Front End The receiver front end comprises the following stages: • The transmitter Low Pass Filter, • A transmit/receive switch controlled by the switching of PIN diodes, • The first Band Pass Filter, • An RF low noise amplifier (LNA), and • A second Band Pass Filter, and a double-balanced first mixer (DBM). These filters, RF LNA, and DBM are designed to provide appropriate filtering to minimize reception of undesired receive signals and provide the appropriate noise figure to allow reception of desired results. Receiver spurious response, sensitivity, and intermodulation performance are greatly affected by the design of the RX front end. The first Local Oscillator (L.O.) signal for the first mixer is generated in the Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) module and amplified in a Local Oscillator amplifier to provide the optimum L.O. drive level to the first mixer. Since this L.O. drive signal is high side injection and the desired first IF frequency is 55.05 MHz, the frequency range of the first L.O. signals are 191.05 – 210.05MHz. Receiver Back End The back end of the receiver is a dual-conversion receiver with a first IF frequency at 55.05 MHz and a second IF frequency at 450 kHz. The receiver back end has the following stages: • The first IF crystal filter, • A low noise IF amplifier, • A second IF crystal filter, and • A receiver IF/amplifier/limiter IC. These stages provide the desired adjacent channel selectivity, receiver spurious response performance, and demodulation of the analog FM receive signals. The back end has been designed to provide switchable selectivity performance for either 15 kHz or 30 kHz channel spaced equipment. This is accomplished by selection of either a wide or narrow 450 kHz ceramic filter. Channel spacing is programmable on a per-channel basis. The receiver IF/amplifier/limiter IC takes the incoming receive signal and mixes it down to the secondary IF frequency 450 kHz. The second L.O. drive signal is normally a low side injection 54.600 MHz signal derived from the synthesizer IC. (An optional 55.500 MHz high side injection signal can be synthesized for improved receiver self-quieting performance on certain frequencies). The FM detector is a quadrature detector that provides recovered receive audio. TRANSMITTER The transmitter is a FM, 5-watt rated transmitter. It can be programmed on a per-channel basis for either 5 or 1 watts. The initial drive level for the transmitter is the VCO. The VCO frequency range is 136 - 155 MHz. The VCO output is amplified in a pre-driver and a driver stage and then input as the drive signal into the Power Amplifier (PA) module. The PA module amplifies the drive signal to approximately 6 watts. The PA output power then is transmitted through a directional coupler that is used for detecting forward power, the transmit/receive switch, and finally the TX Low Pass Filter. The TX Low Pass Filter properly attenuates the harmonics of the desired carrier to meet FCC TX conducted spurious specifications of ≤-13 dBm. The losses through the post-PA stages reduce the output power to a nominal 5 watts. This level is established by the setting of RF power tracking data in the Radio Maintenance software application. (Note: RF power is set ONLY by qualified trained land mobile radio technicians.) Regulating the voltage to the PA and PA driver section, through pass transistor Q404, controls the transmitter output power. The forward power feedback loop and the microprocessor power set level control the pass transistor. The forward power is sensed using a forward coupler in conjunction with an RF rectifier and a LPF. The microprocessor power set level is determined by the power tracking data table stored in memory. SYNTHESIZER The heart of the synthesizer design is the use of a dual serial input Phase-Locked-Loop Frequency Synthesizer IC (similar to Phillips SA7025). A Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) provides the reference frequency for the synthesizer. The TCXO is a 16.8 MHz oscillator, ±2.5 ppm from -30°C to +60°C. The TCXO and the output of the VCO are divided down and phase compared at 6.25 kHz. The synthesizer hardware, along with the radio software, allows TX and RX frequencies to be synthesized on every frequency per CFR Part 90.20 and 90.35 in the applicable band split range. The error voltage provided at the output of the phase detector is filtered by a loop filter to provide a correction voltage to the VCO to set either transmit frequency or receiver L.O. frequency on channel. The loop filter also minimizes spurious input to the VCO. The microprocessor controls whether the loop filter is in a narrow or wide bandwidth. Wide bandwidth allows faster switching of synthesizer frequencies; narrow bandwidth optimizes transmit or receive Hum and Noise performance. BASEBAND PROCESSING Baseband processing is primarily controlled by an Audio Signal Processor (ASP) IC (similar to an AKM AK2344). Recovered receive audio from the FM demodulator is first sent to an amplifier. This amplifier’s gain is dependent on whether the channel is programmed for wide or narrowband mode. If the channel is programmed for narrowband mode, the audio gain is adjusted to twice the gain for wideband mode. This is because in narrowband mode the incoming receive signal has its deviation cut in half, cutting the recovered audio out of the demodulator in half. Doubling the gain then increases…
