TM9400 Specifications Manual Contents 3 © Tait Limited November 2016

1Introduction

This manual lists some of the regulatory requirements and industry standards that the TM9400 series of mobile radios satisfy, and explains how the radio specifications were derived. Separate chapters compare the performance of the receiver (Section 2) and of the transmitter (Section 3) with requirements specified by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). Section 4 provides general radio specifications.

Notice The TM9400 specifications in this manual are typical performance figures and are intended only to provide guidance. They are subject to change without notice and shall not form part of any contract. To establish whether the radio meets the regulatory requirements that apply to you, please contact your regional Tait office.

Notice For known issues and limitations that may cause a radio to perform outside the specifications listed here, see the software release notes for the TM9400. Software release notes are on the Tait support website, http://support.taitradio.com.

TM9400 Specifications Manual Introduction 5 © Tait Limited November 2016

Performance Figures

TM9400 specifications were derived by measuring typical performance and then averaging that measurement across multiple points in each RF band.

In contrast, all figures quoted as regulatory requirements are guaranteed minimum performance figures for equipment operated at standard room temperature, +71.6 °F to + 82.4°F (+22 °C to +28°C) and standard test voltage (13.8VDC).

Performance figures quoted as ‘typical’ are generally better than performance figures quoted as ‘guaranteed minimum’.

Definition of NB and WB

The terms ‘narrow bandwidth’ and ‘wide bandwidth’ are used as follows:

Term Abbreviation

Narrow bandwidth NB 12.5kHz/15kHz ±2.5kHz

Wide bandwidth WB 25kHz/30kHz ±5kHz

Frequency Bands

Tait uses a unique alpha-numeric code to represent each frequency band. The frequency codes currently used with the TM9400 series of radios are listed below. These codes are used throughout this manual.

Frequency code Frequency band

Channel

spacing

B1 136MHz to 174MHz

H5 400MHz to 470MHz

H7 450MHz to 520MHz

K5 757MHz to 870MHz (Tx)

757MHz to 776MHz (Rx) 850MHz to 870MHz (Rx)

100% deviation

Modulation

a. H5- and H7-band radios are also approved for operation on the Australia

and New Zealand Citizens Band frequencies (476.425 to 477.4125MHz). Citizens Band performance limits apply to radios used in this band.

6 Introduction TM9400 Specifications Manual

Australia and New Zealand Citizens Band

AS/NZS 4365 deals with the use of frequencies in the 476.425 to

477.4125MHz band. Products capable of operating in this band have been approved for operation in the UHF Citizens Band Radio Service which is licensed in Australia by the ACMA Radiocommunications (Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand by the MBIE General User Radio Licence for Citizens Band Radio. Operation is subject to conditions contained within those licences.

Repeaters operate by receiving a transmission on one channel and retransmitting it on another. Operators are required to avoid using local repeater input channels, which will be in the range of 31 to 38 (and 71 to 78 when authorized), unless it is intended to use the repeater facility, and to avoid using local repeater output channels, which will be in the range 1 to 8 (and 41 to 48 when authorized), at any time. Operators must always listen in on a channel (or observe a channel-busy indicator) to ensure it is not already being used before transmitting.

No voice transmissions are permitted on data channels 22 and 23. Equipment meeting this standard will inhibit voice operation on channels 22 and 23.

Operators must be aware of the consequences of narrowband (2.5 kHz deviation) transmissions being received on older wideband equipment, and wideband (5.0kHz deviation) transmissions being received on newer narrowband equipment. They should also be aware of the possibility of interference due to older equipment being operated on channels adjacent to new narrowband channels. The list of currently authorized channels can be obtained from the ACMA website in Australia and the MBIE website in New Zealand.

In Australia:

■ Except in an emergency, a CB transmitter must not be operated on UHF

channels 5 and 35.

■ Channel 11 is the customary calling channel for establishing

communications.

■ Channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel.

TM9400 Specifications Manual Introduction 7 © Tait Limited November 2016

FCC Narrowbanding Regulations

The following information applies to all radios, not just to those sold in countries where FCC regulations apply.

From 1 January 2013 it is an FCC requirement that land mobile radio systems must not operate channels with a bandwidth greater than 12.5kHz in the 150–174MHz and 421 – 470MHz frequency bands. From this date all radios will be supplied with firmware that requires a software feature license to operate a medium or wide bandwidth channel in these frequency bands.

The 20/25kHz Unrestricted Wideband feature license is available to any customer who is not subject to the relevant FCC regulations, or who has an FCC waiver. Note that this feature license is not required to operate a medium or wide bandwidth channel on the spot frequencies which are exempt from the FCC requirement:

■ 152.0075, 157.450, 152.480, 157.740 and 158.460MHz in the

150–174 MHz frequency band

■ 462.750, 462.775, 462.800, 462.825, 462.850, 462.875, 462.900,

462.925, and 465MHz in the 421– 470MHz frequency band.

To obtain the feature license, or for more information about it, contact your regional Tait office.

If your network is in the 700MHz band and falls under the jurisdiction of the FCC, you may be required to move to P25 Phase 2 operation so as to obtain a spectrum efficiency equivalent to 6.25kHz per channel.

8 Introduction TM9400 Specifications Manual

RF Output Power

TM9400 mobile radios are available with > 25 W and 25W RF output power. These RF output power options are implemented by different main boards in the radio body and mechanically different radio bodies. For information on which control head is currently available with each radio model, contact your regional Tait office.

The >25W radio is available in the following frequency bands:

■ B1 (50W)

■ H5 (40W)

■ H7 (40W)

■ K5 (30W for 757– 806 MHz, 35W for 806– 870MHz)

The 25W radio is available in the following frequency bands:

■ B1

■ H5

■ H7

Product Codes

The product code (T02-xxxxx-xxxx) printed on a radio label identifies both the radio model and the configuration of that particular radio. For a detailed explanation of product codes and how to interpret them, please refer to the TM9300/TM9400 Service Manual (MMB-00004-xx).

1. Radios approved for operation on the Australia and New Zealand Citizens Band have a maximum RF output power of 5W.
