     1. The enclosed application as described in Section 2 above is approved for
        operational use subject to the guidance below.

     2. For the intended use in the aeronautical and land mobile services, the subject
        system is in accordance with the US Table of Frequency Allocations.

     3. Based on the information provided, the subject equipment complies with the
        frequency stability requirements of NTIA Manual Section 5.2.1, as well as the
        out-of-band, harmonic and spurious level requirements of NTIA Manual Section
        5.2.2.2

     4. Continued compliance with the provisions of the standards cited in paragraph 3
        above, is mandatory.

     5. Frequency assignment requests must be submitted using Standard Frequency Action
        Format (SFAF) and be coordinated with the cognizant Area Frequency Coordinator
        (AFC) in accordance with ACP-190 SUPP-1(C), Guide to Frequency Planning, prior to
        activation.

    6. Operation of the subject equipment shall be in accordance with applicable
       Military Communications-Electronics Board(MCEB)/NTIA channeling plans. Proposals
       for frequency assignments that are non-compliant with the applicable channeling
       plan may be difficult or impossible to obtain.

7. Operational use within various theater commands outside the United States has
   not been approved. Approval for operational use in the intended deployment area
   requires appropriate COCOM statement (s) that the subject system has been
   deemed frequency supportable. Spectrum supportability comments can be found in
   the Host Nation Spectrum Worldwide Database Online, https://hnswdo.disa.mil/.

8. The subject equipment has been coordinated with the NTIA Spectrum Planning
   Subcommittee (SPS). The following additional guidance has been provided:

   a) Navy operates this system in accordance with the provisions of Footnote G27 to
      the National. Table of Frequency Allocations, which limits fixed and mobile
      services in the frequency band 375-386 MHz to the military services.

   b) Navy coordinates all frequency assignment actions for the frequency band 375-
      386 MHz with the Military Assignment Group, in accordance with Section 1.3.2 of
      the NTIA Manual

   c) Navy ensures that personnel are protected from radiation levels that exceed
      generally accepted exposure criteria.
