The Escort 975R has been tested and found to comply with this requirement: Test Methodology Radiated emission testing was performed according to the procedures in ANSI C63.4 (2003). The testing was performed at a distance of 1 meter. The device’s performance was investigated in the range 11.7-12.2GHz. The 975R was powered by an HP E3612A variable DC power supply. Since the device is a hand-held unit, the emissions were maximized around the three orthogonal axes and the maximum reading was recorded. The integrated antenna cannot be maximized separately.
