Product Usage Instructions
Automated Testing
Prior to integrating the MK-29 Transceiver into a finished
product, ensure it undergoes automated testing to verify proper
functionality and compliance with FCC RF requirements.
Antenna Compatibility
The MK-29 is certified for use with antennas meeting specific
criteria: Nominal impedance = 50Ω (151-155MHz) and Antenna Gain
< +7dBi typical.
Integration Testing
After integration, conduct RF testing on the finished product to
confirm proper connection of the MK-29 Transceiver to its antenna
and power supply.
FCC Licensing Information
The Telonics MK-29 Transceiver is FCC Part 95J type accepted for
use on MURS frequencies without the need for an individual license.
It operates on MultiUse Radio Service (MURS) frequencies as per FCC
rules.
Labeling Requirements
Ensure that any product containing the MK-29 meets FCC labeling
requirements, including placement of the FCC ID in the user manual
of all finished products.
FAQ
Q: Do I need a license to operate the MK-29 Transceiver on MURS
frequencies?
A: No, MURS radios are licensed by rule, and individual licenses
are not required to transmit on these frequencies. For more
information, visit the FCC’s website at https://www.fcc.gov/.
