Based on the very successful Microair and Becker ranges, the XCOM 760 offers many advanced features previously only available in the more expensive brands. Designed from the ground up, the XCOM 760 offers superior performance under the demanding and noisy conditions experienced in many amateur built aircraft. With low power consumption, this radio is ideally suited to use in gliders, homebuilts and ultralights. A full 6 watt carrier output ensures that you will be heard above the general chatter in busy airspace and the VOX intercom with muting music input will enhance your enjoyment of the flight. With expanded receive range up to 163 MHz, the XCOM 760 provides NOAA Weather reception ensuring that you are always aware of impending weather conditions (NOAA Weather only operates in the USA) and has an optional MARS/CAP capability. Additional safety enhancements such as dual watch allow the pilot to listen to the standby frequency while still monitoring the primary frequency. The XCOM 760 also has 99 memory channe…

Response to TCB Findings 1. In the label there are spaces allocated between the characters of the FCC ID. If this is needed, this can only be done by the use of "-", spaces are not allowed. Please supply a corrected label sample and also specify the label material. Details of the corrected label are attached including details of the label material. 2. Parts list is a required exhibit. Please supply the document. Part lists are included with the schematic diagrams. 3. On page 9 of the report the upper supply voltage tested (13.2V) is not 115% of the nominal voltage. Please clarify. Testing has been carried out at the correct supply voltage. A revised test report is attached. 4. Please clarify if the power can be varied by the user or if it's tuned-up only at the factory. If users can vary the power setting please specify the range. The client advises that the power cannot be varied by the users and is set by the factory. 5. Maximum power declared in the RF hazard information section of the report is 7.1W, whereas in the RF power output section of the report, manufacturer range is specified to be 4.9W to 7.7W. And in the service manual specifications section on page 4, the power rating is specified to be 5.5W at 13.8VDC with +0.7dB / -0.5dB tolerance. Please clarify these differences. The test report and calculations have been corrected accordingly. 6. Please supply a copy of the FAA coordination letter for this transmitter. The grant can not be issued until the FAA has confirmed that they did not have a compatibility problem with this device (87.147). Coordination letter is attached.

EMC Technologies (NZ) Ltd Test Report No 40327.2 Report date: 13 July 2004 Radio Frequency Hazard Information As per Section 1.1310 mobile transmitters are required to be operated in a manner that ensures that the public is not exposed to RF energy levels in accordance with OST/OET Bulletin Number 65. In accordance with this section and also Section 2.1091, this device has been classified as a remote device that could possibly be used to transmit data from a mobile vehicle. A minimum safe distance between the user / general public and the device has been calculated below. In accordance with Section 1.1310 the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) power density limit for the General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure of 0.2 mW/m 2 or 27.5 V/m has been applied. The minimum distance from the antenna at which the MPE is met is calculated from the equation relating field strength in V/m, transmit power in watts, transmit antenna gain and separation distance in metres: The upper tolerance of the declared power = 6.9 watts. The nominal power = 5.5 watts. In a typical mobile installation this transceiver would be used with a whip ¼ wave dipole type of antenna with a gain of 1.64 (2.15 dBi). d = √ (30 * P * G) / E = √ (30 * 6.9 * 1.64 ) / 27.5 = 0.66999 metres or 67 cm The above calculations therefore show that this device meets the MPE requirement for mobile devices providing a safe distance of at least 67 cm is provided. However as the client does not supply the antenna further calculations have been made to determine a safe distance if antennas with gains greater than 1.64 are utilised. If a safe distance of 1 m is utilised an antenna gain of 3.65 (5.6 dBi) can used. This safe distance will provide added safety to the user and the general public as the manufacturer has no control over what type of antenna can be connected to this device and it is believed that vertical whip antennas with gains greater than 3.65 will not be used. A warning to this affect will need to be inserted in the equipment manual. Result : Complies
