The applicant has been cautioned as to the following: 15.21 Information to User The user’s manual or instruction manual for an intentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 15.27(a) Special Accessories Equipment marketed to a consumer must be capable of complying with the necessary regulations in the configuration in which the equipment is marketed. Where special accessories, such as shielded cables and/or special connectors are required to enable an unintentional or intentional radiator to comply with the emission limits in this part, the equipment must be marketed with, i.e. shipped and sold with, those special accessories. However, in lieu of shipping or packaging the special accessories with the unintentional or intentional radiator the responsible part may employ other methods of ensuring that the special accessories are provided to the consumer, without an additional charge. Information detailing any alternative method used to supply the special accessories for a grant of equipment authorization or retained in the verification records, as appropriate. The party responsible for the equipment, as detailed in § 2.909 of this chapter, shall ensure that these special accessories are provided with the equipment. The instruction manual for such devices shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of text concerned with the installation of the device that these special accessories must be used with the device. It is the responsibility of the user to use the needed special accessories supplied with the equipment. p1750001.1_FCC_Part 15.121_Rev 3.0 Page 5 of 15

Standard Test Conditions Engineering Practices Except as noted herein, the following conditions and procedures were observed during the testing: FCC Part15.121. In accordance with ANSI C63.10-2014 and unless otherwise indicated in the specific measurement results, the ambient temperature of the actual EUT was maintained within the range of 10° to 40°C (50° to 104°F), unless the particular equipment requirements specified testing over a different temperature range. Also, unless otherwise indicated, the humidity levels were in the range of 10% to 90% relative humidity. Measurement results, unless otherwise noted, are worst-case measurements. Environmental Conditions Temperature Humidity Pressure (°C) (%) (mbar) 27.5 – 30.6 964.2 – 967.6 22.15 – 24.8 EUT Description Model: IC-R8600 Description: Communications Receiver Firmware: 1.02 Serial Number: 00000115 Additional Information: Digital and Analog scanning receiver covering the frequency range of 30 MHz – 960 MHz. Capable of receiving AM, FM, WFM, FSK, CW, Digital. Refer to user manual for further details. Receiver was powered from an external speaker that provided 15 VDC to the receiver. Speaker was powered by 120 VAC. Per FCC Part 15.121(a)(1) specification states receiver cannot operate in Part 22 Cellular Radiotelephone bands. Per FCC Part 22.905 Cellular Radiotelephone operates from 824 – 849 MHz and 869 – 894 MHz. From the front panel, it was observed that the receiver will not tune from 822.000000 MHz to 850.999999 MHz and 867.000000 – 896.000000 MHz. EUT Operation during Tests Receiver was tested in normal operating mode in scanning and non-scanning modes of operation.

Conducted Spurious Emissions Engineer: Greg Corbin Test Date: 5/21/2017 Test Procedure Per FCC section 15.109(f), For a receiver which employs terminals for the connection of an external receiving antenna, the receiver shall be tested to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of this section with an antenna connected to the antenna terminals unless the antenna conducted power is measured as specified in §15.111(a). FCC section 15.111(a) states: In addition to the radiated emission limits, receivers that operate (tune) in the frequency range 30 to 960 MHz and CB receivers that provide terminals for the connection of an external receiving 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 any frequency within the range of measurements specified in §15.33 shall not exceed 2.0 nanowatts. All signals measured at the receiver antenna port were below 2 nanowatts (-57 dBm). Refer to Annex A and B for supporting test data. The EUT was connected directly to the spectrum analyzer and conducted spurious emissions were recorded for each type of modulation in both scanning and non-scanning mode. Scanning mode was performed across the allowed frequency range of 30 – 960 MHz. Test Setup Spectrum EUT Analyzer Refer to Annex A for conducted spurious emission test results in non-scanning mode. Refer to Annex B for conducted spurious emission test results in scanning mode. p1750001.1_FCC_Part 15.121_Rev 3.0 Page 8 of 15

Radiated Spurious Emissions Engineer: Greg Corbin Test Date: 5/21/2017 Test Procedure The EUT was tested in a semi-anechoic chamber with the turntable set 3m from the receiving antenna. A spectrum analyzer was used to verify that the EUT met the requirements for Radiated Emissions. The EUT was tested by rotating it 360 degrees with the antennas in both the vertical and horizontal orientation while raised from 1 to 4 meters to ensure the signal levels were maximized. All emissions from 30 MHz to 15 GHz were examined. The EUT antenna ports were terminated with their characteristic impedance. Radiated measurements were only performed with the receiver tuned to fixed frequencies due to the receiver taking a long time to scan the entire band and the complex nature of trying to measure a scanning receiver with a spectrum analyzer also scanning acoss a certain frequency range. RBW = 120 kHz below 1 GHz. RBW = 1 MHz above 1 GHz. Test Setup Spectrum EUT Antenna Analyzer Refer to Annex C for Radiated Spurious Emission test data p1750001.1_FCC_Part 15.121_Rev 3.0 Page 9 of 15

A/C Powerline Conducted Emissions Engineer: Greg Corbin Test Date: 5/21/2017 Test Procedure The EUT power cable was connected to a LISN and the monitored output of the LISN was connected to a transient limiter, which then connected directly to a spectrum analyzer. The conducted emissions from 150 kHz to 30 MHz were measured and compared to the specification limits.

Rejection Engineer: Greg Corbin Test Date: 5/21/2017 Test Procedure Per FCC Part 15.121(a)(1) specification states receiver cannot operate in Part 22 Cellular Radiotelephone bands. Per FCC Part 22.905 Cellular Radiotelephone operates from 824 – 849 MHz and 869 – 894 MHz. From the front panel it was observed that the receiver will not tune from 822.000000 MHz to 850.999999 MHz and 867.000000 – 896.000000 MHz. Per FCC 15.121 (b) the receiver shall reject any signal in the Cellular Radiotelephone band by 38 dB. With receiver set to FM, Pre-Amp on, injected a FM modulated signal at 821.999 MHz with 1 kHz tone and 1 kHz deviation. To establish RSSI, measured RSSI = -113.7 dBm for a 12 dB SINAD at the AF (audio frequency) port. Increased RF input signal level to RSSI + 38 dB or -75.7 dBm. SINAD measured 41.9 dB. Increased RF input frequency until 12 dB SINAD was reached, this occurred at 822.009270 MHz. Set the signal generator to 824.000 MHz. Increased the signal level to -25 dBm, receiver could not receive signal. SINAD measured < 1 dB. This is > 88.7 dB rejection at 824 MHz. Repeated this test for AM, FM, and WFM at the low middle and high frequencies of the Part 22 Cellular Radiotelephone bands. In all cases the rejection was greater than 38 dB.
