RECEIVER ANTENNA POWER SPURIOUS/HARMONIC CONDUCTED EMISSIONS 15.111(a) 5.5.1. Limits Receivers that operate (tune) in the frequency range 30 to 960 MHz and CB receivers that provides terminals for the connection of an external antenna may be tested to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of 15.109 with the antenna terminals shielded and terminated with a resistive termination equal to the impedance specified for the antenna, provided these receivers also comply with the following:- With the receiver antenna terminal connected to a resistive termination equal to the impedance specified or employed for the antenna, the power at the antenna terminal at frequency within the range from 30 MHz to 5th harmonic of the highest frequency shall not exceed 2.0 nanowatts (or -57 dBm 50 Ohm). 5.5.2. Method of Measurements Refer to Ultratech Test Procedures ULTR-P001-200 replacing a plug-in semiconductor chip; or programming a semiconductor chip using special access codes or an external device, such as a personal computer. Scanning receivers, and frequency converters designed for use with scanning receivers, also shall be incapable of converting digital cellular communication transmissions to analog voice audio. (2) Be designed so that the tuning, control and filtering circuitry is inaccessible. The design must be such that any attempts to modify the equipment to receive transmissions from the Cellular Radiotelephone Service likely will render the receiver inoperable. b. Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, scanning receivers shall reject any signals from the Cellular Radiotelephone Service frequency bands that are 38 dB or lower based upon a 12 dB SINAD measurement, which is considered the threshold where a signal can be clearly discerned from any interference that may be present. c. Scanning receivers and frequency converters designed or marketed for use with scanning receivers, are not subject to the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section provided that they are manufactured exclusively for, and marketed exclusively to, entities described in 18 U.S.C. 2512(2), or are marketed exclusively as test equipment pursuant to Sec. 15.3(dd) d. Modification of a scanning receiver to receive transmissions from Cellular Radiotelephone Service frequency bands will be considered to constitute manufacture of such equipment. This includes any individual, individuals, entity or organization that modifies one or more scanners. Any modification to a scanning receiver to receive transmissions from the Cellular Radiotelephone Service frequency bands voids the certification of the scanning receiver, regardless of the date of manufacture of the original unit. In addition, the provisions of Sec. 15.23 shall not be interpreted as permitting modification of a scanning receiver to receiver cellular radiotelephone service transmissions. e. Scanning receivers and frequency converters designed for use with scanning receivers shall not be assembled from kits or marketed in kit form unless they comply with the requirements in paragraph (a) through (c) of this section.

The label shall read as follows: WARNING: MODIFICATION OF THIS DEVICE TO RECEIVE CELLULAR RADIOTELEPHONE SERVICE SIGNALS IS PROHIBITED UNDER FCC RULES AND FEDERAL LAW. (1) Permanently affixed means that the label is etched, engraved, stamped, silkscreened, indelible printed or otherwise permanently marked on a permanently attached part of the equipment or on a nameplate of metal, plastic or other material fastened to the equipment by welding, riveting, or permanent adhesive. The label shall be designed to last the expected lifetime of the equipment in the environment in which the equipment may be operated and must not be readily detachable. The label shall not be a stick-on, paper label. (2) When the device is so small that it is not practicable to place the warning label on it, the information required by this paragraph shall be placed in a prominent location in the instruction manual or pamphlet supplied to the user and shall also be placed on the container in which the device is marketed. However, the FCC identifier must be displayed on the device.

SCANNING RECEIVERS CELLULAR BAND REJECTION 15.121(b) 5.8.1. Limits Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, scanning receivers shall reject any signals from the Cellular Radiotelephone Service frequency bands that are 38dB or lower based upon a 12dB SINAD measurement, which is considered the threshold where a signal can be clearly discerned from any interference that may be present. 5.8.2. Method of Measurements (1) Connected the EUT as shown in the following block diagram (2) Apply a standard RF signal to the receiver input port (3) Adjust the audio output signal of the receiver to its rated value with the distortion less than 10% (4) Adjust the RF Signal Generator Output Power to produce 12 dB SINAD without the audio output power dropping by more than 3 dB (5) Repeat step (4) at lowest, middle and highest channel frequencies across all cellular base station band to establish a reference sensitivity level. The reference sensitivity taken was the lowest or worse-case sensitivity for all of the bands. (6) Adjust the RF Signal Generator output to a level of +60 dB above the reference sensitivity obtained in step (5) (7) Set the Receiver squelch threshold (the signal required to open the squelch) no greater than +20 dB above the reference sensitivity level. (8) Put the receiver in a scanning mode and allow it to scan across its complete receive range (9) If the receiver unsquelched or stopped on any frequency, the display frequency is recorded. The signal generator output level was then adjusted until 12 dB SINAD from the receiver was produced. The signal generator level associated with this response was also noted. (10) Repeat this procedure for 3 frequencies in the cellular base station transmit band. (11) The difference between the signal generator output for any response recorded and reference sensitivity is the rejection ratio RF Signal Generator EUTDistortion Analyzer RF Signal Generator Combiner FCC PARTS 15 SUBPART B Section 15.121 Page 28 HF/50 MHz Transceiver, M/N: IC-7410 FCC ID: AFJ318200 ULTRATECH GROUP OF LABS File #: ICOM-263F15B121 3000 Bristol Circle, Oakville, Ontario, Canada L6H 6G4 December 10, 2010 Tel. #: 905-829-1570, Fax. #: 905-829-8050, Email: vicultratech-, Website: http:/www.ultratech- All test results contained in this engineering test report are traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 5.8.3.
