scope:

The present document covers the technical requirements for radio transmitters and receivers used in stations in the Private Mobile Radio (PMR) service.

It applies to use in the land mobile service, operating on radio frequencies in all or in any part of the frequencies as given below, with channel separations of 12,5 kHz, 20 kHz and 25 kHz, intended for speech and/or data.

The equipment comprises a transmitter and associated encoder and modulator and/or a receiver and associated demodulator and decoder. The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:

• base station (equipment fitted with an antenna connector, intended for use in a fixed location);

• mobile station (equipment fitted with an antenna connector, normally used in a vehicle or as a transportable); and

• those hand portable stations:

a) fitted with an antenna socket; or

b) without an external antenna socket, but fitted with a permanent internal or a temporary internal 50 Ω Radio Frequency (RF) connector which allows access to the transmitter output and the receiver input.

Hand portable equipment without an external or internal RF connector and without the possibility of having a temporary internal 50 Ω RF connector is not covered by the present document.

The present document is intended to cover the provisions of article 3.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] (R&TTE Directive), which states that "(...) radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radiocommunications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".

In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [i.1] may apply to equipment within the scope of the present document.

NOTE: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org.
