VIQ-KMANUALPLUSCOSPAS-SARSAT Distress Beacon

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 July 27, 2007 RE: MARTEC Serpe-lesm FCC ID: VIQKAUTO and VIQKMANUALPLUS I have a few comments on this Application. Depending on your responses, kindly understand there may be additional comments. 1.) Please note that many of the documents for which Confidentiality are requested are not normally permitted without significant justification. It is impossible for the ‘FCC ID Artwork’, ‘Label Location’ and application ‘Form 731’ to ever be considered for confidential treatment. It is also highly unlikely that the Commission would ever approve confidentiality for ‘Internal Photographs’ either without a substantial rationale. Kindly consider revisions to your Confidentiality Request letter. 2.) Please provide a ‘Tune Up’ document as required by 2.1033(c)(9). For this case, a description of how and to what tolerance the power is adjusted during manufacturing will be sufficient. This document can be held confidential if properly listed on the Confidentiality Request letter. 3.) Please provide the DC currents and DC voltages into the final output stage as required by 2.1033(c)(8) for both the 121 and 406 MHz radio sections. 4.) Because of the complexity of this filing, it would be appreciated if a summary sheet be provided indicating the page numbers or report sections that specifically correspond to 2.1046 through 2.1055 of the Rules. William H. Graff President and Director of Engineering mailto: [email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information may result in application termination. Correspondence should be considered part of the permanent submission and may be viewed from the Internet after a Grant of Equipment Authorization is issued. Please do not respond to this correspondence using the email reply button. In order for your response to be processed expeditiously, you must submit your documents through the AmericanTCB.com website. Also, please note that partial responses increase processing time and should not be submitted. Any questions about the content of this correspondence should be directed to the sender.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 October 4, 2007 TO: FCC FROM: American TCB RE: FCC ID: VIQ-KMANUALPLUS Request for correction of original grant. Thank you for placing incorrect ID (VIQKMANUALPLUS) in audit so that we may correct grant to VIQ- KMANUALPLUS. The labels on file for this one were correct however there are too many. Please delete label location and artwork (these are for the VIQ-KAUTO. Please leave location 2 and artwork 2. Thank you Marianne Bosley American TCB Inc. Direct – 717-676-3203

25.1 TEST SPECIFICATIONS AND PROGRAMME Following IEC 1000-4-3 (Clause 10.4 of IEC 60945): Severity level : 3 ( following IEC 1000-4-3) = 10 V/m. Calibration at 6 V/m. Calculation of the offset : offset = 20 log (10/6) = 4,44 dB. Suceptibility criteria : The test was run with EPIRB in Ready position without its bracket . During the test the Epirb was endded with video camera if it was running ( flash ). Only the accessible faces of Epirb was tested . Note : This test is more restricting than the IEC specification because the EPIRB is normally protected by its bracket 25.2 EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST Beacon Unit : 5/7 Manufacturer : MARTEC Type : KANNAD AUTO/AUTO GPS/MANUAL/MANUAL GPS/MANUAL+/MANUAL+GPS Number : 57990 Class : II
