                              The applicant has been cautioned as to the following

FCC

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 the 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 party 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.

Standard Test Conditions Engineering Practices

Except as noted herein, the following conditions and procedures were observed during the testing: FCC Part 15.121.

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.

EUT Description
Model: IC-V86
Description: VHF Transceiver with scanning receiver
Serial Number: NA
Additional Information:
Device under test is a VHF FM transceiver with the scanning receiver that works in the 136-174 MHz range.
It works with a Li-ion battery and comes with a rapid charger. It has an external BNC antenna connector with a 50
Ohms impedance.

The transmitter is used for amateur radio service per Part 97 and is exempt from FCC certification.
As stated at one of the FCC Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) websites for Part 97, the FCC (OET)
equipment authorization program does not generally apply to amateur radio service station transmitters.

The scanning receiver was tested to comply with part47 CFR 15.109, 15.111, and 15.121.

This scanning receiver upper operating range is up to 174 MHz, and is not capable of scanning in the Part 22
Cellular Radiotelephone Service band per 15.121(a)(1). Therefor this scanning receiver meets the requirements
of section 15.121 (b) by design since it cannot receive any signals above 174 MHz.


EUT Operation during Tests
Receiver was tested on both scanning and non-scanning modes.

Conducted Spurious Emissions
Engineer: Poona Saber
Test Date: 3/12/2019

                                                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.

The EUT was connected as shown in the test set-up and tested at both scanning and non-scanning modes.
All signals measured at the receiver antenna port were below 2 nanowatts (-57 dBm) for upto 1 GHz and 5
nanowatts (-54 dBm) for above 1 GHz.

Test Date: 3/12/19


                                                 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.

15.109 Radiated Emissions
Engineer: Poona Saber
Test Date: 3/12/2019

                                                  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 1 GHz were examined.

                                                    Test Setup


                                                                                 Spectrum
                              EUT                      Antenna
                                                                                 Analyzer



Settings below 1 GHz
RBW = 120 KHz
VBW = 300 KHz
Detector – Quasi Peak
Settings above 1 GHz
RBW = 1 MHz
VBW = 3 MHz
Detector – Peak
Sample Calculations
Corrected Value = Measured Value + Correction factor
Correction factor = ACF + Cable loss
