US Tech Test Report: FCC Part 95 Report Number: 14-0126 Issue Date: June 21, 2014 Customer: Radio Systems Corporation Model: 300-2946 FCC ID: KE3-3002946 1 General Information 1.1 Product Description The Equipment Under Test (EUT) is the Radio Systems Corporation GPSC Mobile, Model 300-2946 Invisible Fence brand pet collar. The product is a GPS pet containment collar unit that uses GPS coordinates to keep a pet within a desired area. The EUT also communicates via 151.82 MHz to a Base Reference Unit to receive GPS augmentation data and to relay battery levels and pet activity. See Figure.1 for the test setup. 1.2 Related Submittal(s)/Grant(s) The EUT is subject to the following authorizations: a) Certification as a 151.82 MHz, MURS transmitter per FCC Part 2, Subpart J and Part 95, Subpart J, MURS and Subpart E, Technical Requirements. 1.3 Test Methodology These measurements were conducted in accordance with the requirements of Title 47 CFR Part 95, Subpart E and TIA-603-C (2004). All measurements are in terms of peak values unless stated otherwise. The measurement system video bandwidth was set to at least three times that of the resolution bandwidth to prevent the introduction of amplitude smoothing throughout the evaluation process. If interconnecting cables are part of the measurement setup then they were manipulated as necessary to maximize emissions. A block diagram of the tested system is shown in Figure 1. Page 5 of 19

The RF port where the antenna is terminated was connected to a short RF cable with an SMA connector on one end. The SMA connector was directly connected to a spectrum analyzer. The EUT was set up to transmit a signal with >98% duty cycle. The peak measurement of the signal was recorded. 2.1.1 Maximum Power Allowed The maximum power allowed is 2 Watts (or 33 dBm) per FCC 95.639(h). 2.1.2 Measured Fundamental Signal The maximum output power of the EUT as measured below is 0.0316 W. 15 dBm into 50 ohm = 31.63 mW <<2 Watts Antenna gain = -19.7 dBi EIRP = 15 – 19.7 = -4.7 dBm = 0.338 mW << 2 Watts Figure 2.

The Bandwidth of the Fundamental was measured using a spectrum analyzer, as shown below. A RBW that was > 1% of the authorized bandwidth was used to measure the EUT’s bandwidth. Using the Emission Bandwidth measurement technique of ANSI C63.10-2009 as a guide, the measurement of the Emission Bandwidth is found to be 6.71 kHz. 3.1 Maximum Authorized Bandwidth, FCC requirement. The maximum authorized Bandwidth per 95.633 (f)(1) = 11.25 kHz. Figure 3. Bandwidth Measurement Page 10 of 15

The power of each unwanted emission shall be less than TP (Transmitter Power) as specified in paragraph 2.3.1 below. 4.1 Test Method These emissions were measured on the Spectrum Analyzer via a short RF cable soldered to the RF output port of the transmitter circuit board. 4.2 FCC Limits Per CFR Part 95.635(e) transmitters designed to operate in the MURS, transmitters shall comply with “Emission Mask 1 : For transmitters designed to operate with a 12.5 kHz channel bandwidth, any emission must be attenuated below the power (P) of the highest emission contained within the authorized bandwidth as follows: “(i) On any frequency from the center of the authorized bandwidth fo to 5.625 kHz removed from fo: Zero dB. (ii) On any frequency removed from the center of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement frequency (fd in kHz) of more than 5.625 kHz but no more than 12.5 kHz: at least 7.27(fd −2.88 kHz) dB. (iii) On any frequency removed from the center of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement frequency (fd in kHz) of more than 12.5 kHz: at least 50 + 10 log (P) dB or 70 dB, whichever is the lesser attenuation.” Page 11 of 15

US Tech Test Report: FCC Part 95 Report Number: 14-0126 Issue Date: June 21, 2014 Customer: Radio Systems Corporation Model: 300-2946 FCC ID: KE3-3002946 4.3 Test Results The EUT is designed to operate in the 151.8200 MHz frequency and assumed not be using any audio low pass filter circuits, therefore only Emissions Mask 1 was applied. The measured emissions comply with the specified mask as shown below. Figure 4.

The EUT was tested in the far field. Measurements for 30 to 1000 MHz were made with the analyzer's bandwidth set to 120 kHz. Measurements above 1000 MHz were made with analyzer’s bandwidth set to 1 MHz and 3 MHz. Since the EUT is part of a portable handheld configuration, the EUT was rotated through the three orthogonal planes to produce the highest emission relative to the limit. Results are shown in the Table below. 5.2 FCC Limits On any frequency removed from the center of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement frequency (fd in kHz) of more than 12.5 kHz: at least 50 + 10 log (P) dB or 70 dB, whichever is the lesser attenuation. Measured Conducted Output Power= 0.0316 Watts = 15 dBm Attenuation Calculation = 50 + 10Log(0.0316) = 35 Power Limit = 15dBm – 35dB = -20 dBm Table 3.

The humidity was test to relative value of no more than 50%. The temperature was varied between -30°C to +50°C in 10° increments. All measurements were referenced back to the frequency measured at +20°C. At each set point the temperature was allowed to stabilize for no less than 30 minutes before measurements were recorded and the temperature changed. The battery for the EUT was removed and the EUT was powered with a variable DC power supply. The voltage was varied between the nominal operating voltage and the end point of the battery (~85%). The fundamental frequency for each voltage setting was compared to the nominal voltage ambient temperature measurement and reported as compared to the limit. 6.2 FCC Limits MURS transmitters must maintain a frequency stability of 5.0 ppm, or 2.0 ppm if designed to operate with a 6.25 kHz bandwidth. 6.3 Test Results Table 4.
