1997, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC requlated equipment. Maxon subscribes to the same safety standard for the use of its products. Proper operation of this radio will result in user exposure far below the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and Federal Communications Commission limits.

MAXONCIC SD-125E RF LINK MODULE 6.1 INTRODUCTION The VHF and UHF radios are comprised of two PCB's (an RF PCB and a digital PCB). These boards are connected with an 18 pin female and male connector . The digital board is interfaced with external data equipment through the 9 pin d-sub male connector, which controls the radio and data receiving and sending .
MAXONCIC SD-125E RF LINK MODULE 6.3 RF CIRCUITS TRANSMITTER The transmitter is comprised of: Buffer P.A. Module Low Pass Filter Antenna Switch A.P.C. Circuits BUFFER VCO output level is -6dBm and amplified to +10dBm (UHF), +6dBm (VHF). The buffer consists of Q8 and Q9 for isolation and gain.
MAXONCIC SD-125E RF LINK MODULE 6.4 RF CIRCUITS PLL SYNTHESIZER 12.8 MHz TCXO The TCXO contains the 3-stage thermistor network compensation and crystal oscillator and modulation ports. Compensation is ±5 PPM or less from -30c to +60c. PLL IC DUAL MODULES PRESCALER Input frequency of 12.8 MHz to Pin 1 of IC2 MB15E03SL is divided to 6.25 kHz or 5 kHz or 2.5KHz by the...
MAXONCIC SD-125E RF LINK MODULE 6.5 RECEIVER FRONT-END The receive signal is routed backward through the low pass filter, then onward to C601 of the Hybrid Receiver Front End Module to a bandpass filter consisting of (VHF C622 through C608, L607 through L604 ) and (UHF C601through C610, L601 through L603 ) is coupled to the base of Q601 which serves as an RF amplifier.
