7/24/2012 Page 1 of 2 RF Exposure Requirements General information : Device category: Mobile per Part 2.1091 Environment: Uncontrolled Exposure Mobile devices that operate under Part 80 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 to be used with this device, but typical installations have gains up to 3 dBi. This device has provisions for operation in a vehicle (boat), or a fixed location. Configuration Antenna p/n Type Max. Gain (dBi) Boat Any omni 3 Operating configuration and exposure conditions: The conducted output power is 25 Watts. Typical use qualifies for a maximum duty cycle factor of 50%. In normal operation the use of this transmitter is considered uncontrolled exposure. - Part 2.1091 states that devices are excluded from routine evaluation if the EIRP is less than 2.46Watt (or 1.5WERP). - Vehicle Operation: The maximum antenna gain that can be used is 3dBi. A coaxial cable of the type RG 58 has a loss of 1dB for a length of 15 feet and this value was used in the following calculation of separation distance. MPE Calculation: The minimum separation distance is calculated as follows: The limit for general uncontrolled exposure environment below 300 MHz is 0.2 mW/cm 2 . 7/24/2012 Page 2 of 2 Channel frequency: 156.025-157.425 MHz The conducted power output is 25 watt.

The test results relate only to the items tested. Summary The device under test does: fulfill the general approval requirements as identified in this test report not fulfill the general approval requirements as identified in this test report Attestations This equipment has been tested in accordance with the standards identified in this test report. To the best of my knowledge and belief, these tests were performed using the measurement procedures described in this report. All instrumentation and accessories used to test products for compliance to the indicated standards are calibrated regularly in accordance with ISO 17025 requirements. Testing Certificate # 0955-01 I attest that the necessary measurements were made, under my supervision, at: Timco Engineering Inc. 849 NW State Road 45 Newberry, Fl 32669 Authorized Signatory Name: Mario de Aranzeta C.E.T.

Modification to the DUT None Test Exercise The DUT was placed in a continuous transmit mode. Applicable Standards ANSI/TIA 603-C:2004, FCC CFR 47 Part 80, IC RSS- 182 and RSS-GEN Test Facility Timco Engineering Inc. at 849 NW State Road 45 Newberry, FL 32669 USA. Applicant: NAVICO AUCKLAND LTD FCC ID: RAYVHFLINK5 IC CERT #: 4697A-VHFLINK5 Report: N\NAVICO AUCKLAND_RAY\45AUT12\45AUT12TestReport.doc Page 5 of 20 TEST PROCEDURES Power Line Conducted Interference: The procedure used was ANSI/TIA 603-C: 2004 using a 50uH LISN. Both lines were observed with the DUT transmitting. The bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer was 10 kHz with an appropriate sweep speed. Bandwidth 20 dB: The measurements were made with the spectrum analyzer's resolution bandwidth (RBW) = 1 MHz and the video bandwidth (VBW) = 3 MHz and the span set as shown on plot. Power Output: The RF power output was measured at the antenna feed point using a peak power meter. Antenna Conducted Emissions: The RBW = 100 kHz, VBW = 300 kHz and the span set to 10.0 MHz and the spectrum was scanned from 30 MHz to the 10 th harmonic of the fundamental. Above 1 GHz the resolution bandwidth was 1 MHz and the VBW = 3 MHz and the span to 50 MHz. Radiation Interference: The test procedure used was ANSI C63.4-2004 using an Agilent spectrum receiver with pre-selector. The bandwidth (RBW) of the spectrum receiver was 100 kHz up to 1 GHz and 1 MHz above 1 GHz with an appropriate sweep speed. The VBW above 1 GHz was 3 MHz. The analyzer was calibrated in dB above a micro volt at the output of the antenna. Applicant: NAVICO AUCKLAND L…
