Electromagnetic
Interference/
Compatibility
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately
shielded, designed or otherwise configured for
electromagnetic compatibility.
• FACILITIES
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility
conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
• FIXED SITE
ANTENNAS
Transportable Repeater equipment is transported to and then set up
at a fixed location and operated as a fixed control station or repeater.
The antenna installation must comply with the following
requirements in order to assure optimal performance and make sure
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within
the guidelines set forth in the above standards:
• The antenna must be mounted outside the building.
• Mount the antenna on a tower if at all possible. The lowest point
of the antenna must be elevated a minimum of 10 meters above
the ground. This may require the use of a coaxial cable extension
for the antenna.
• If the antenna is to be mounted on a building, then it must be
mounted on the roof. If the antenna supplied with the repeater is
used and the repeater cannot be located within the 12 ft. cable
length, then a coaxial cable extension should be used.
• As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility
of the licensee to manage the site in accordance with applicable
regulatory requirements and may require additional compliance
actions such as site survey measurements, signage, and site
access restrictions in order to insure that exposure limits are not
exceeded.
