                                MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

1.    At first, bench tests were performed to locate the spurious
      emissions at the antenna terminals.

2.    In the field, tests were conducted over the range shown, The
      test sample was set up on a wooden turntable above ground, and
      at a distance of three meters from the antenna connected tot he
      Spectrum Analyzer.

3.    In order to obtain the maximum response at each frequency, the
      turntable was rotated, and the search antenna was raised and
      lowered. The EUT was also adjusted for maximum response. Tests
      were conducted in Horizontal & Vertical polarization modes.

4.    The field strength was calculated from:

             E µV/m @ 3 m = Log10-1(dBµV + A.F. + C.L.)
                                           20

5.    MEASUREMENT RESULTS: Attached for "Worst Case" conditions.

NAME OF TEST:            Scanning Receivers Cellular Band Rejection

SPECIFICATION:           FCC: 47 CFR 15.121(b)

TEST EQUIPMENT:          As per attached page

GUIDE:                   47 CFR 15.121(b): Except as provided in
                         paragraph (c) of this section, scanning
                         receivers shall reject any signals from Cellular
                         Radiotelephone Service frequency bands that are
                         38 dB or higher 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.

WARNING:                 MODIFICATION OF THIS DEVICE TO RECEIVE CELLULAR
                         RADIOTELEPHONE SERVICE SIGNALS IS PROHIBITED
                         UNDER FCC RULES AND FEDERAL LAW.

                            MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
   1. Equipment was connected as illustrated in the block diagram.
   2. A standard signal was applied to the receiver input terminals.
   3. Receiver output audio output was adjusted for rated output and with
       distortion no greater than 10%.
   4. The RF Signal generator was adjusted to produce 12dB SINAD without
       the audio output power dropping by more than 3dB.
   5. This was repeated at three frequencies across all bands to
       establish a reference sensitivity level. The reference sensitivity
       taken was the lowest, or worst-case sensitivity for all of the
       bands.
   6. The output of the signal generator was then adjusted to a level of
       +60dB above the reference level sensitivity established in step 5
       and set to the first of three frequencies in the cellular
       subscriber transmit band.
   7. Receiver squelch threshold, the signal level required to open the
       squelch, should be set to open no greater than +20dB above the
       reference sensitivity.
   8. The receiver was then put in the scanning mode and allowed to scan
       across it’s complete receive range.
   9. If the receiver unsquelched or stopped on any frequency, the
       displayed frequency was recorded. The signal generator was then
       adjusted in output level until a 12dB SINAD from the receiver was
       produced. The signal generator level associated with this response
       was also noted.
   10. This procedure was repeated for three frequencies in the cellular
       base station transmit band.
   11. The difference in between the signal generator output for any
       response recorded and the reference sensitivity is the rejection
       ratio.

          THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN CAUTIONED AS TO THE FOLLOWING:




15.21        INFORMATION TO USER.


     The users 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 party may
employ other methods of ensuring that the special accessories are
provided to the consumer, without 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.

                         LABELLING OF SCANNING RECEIVERS

'


Scanning receivers shall have a label permanently affixed to the
product, and this label shall be readily visible to the purchaser at
the time of purchase. 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.


"Permanently affixed" means that the label is etched, engrave,
stamped, silkscreened, indelibly 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.
