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:
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.
Term Abbreviation
Channel
spacing
Modulation
100% deviation
Narrow bandwidth NB 12.5kHz/15kHz ±2.5kHz
Wide bandwidth WB 25kHz/30kHz ±5kHz
Frequency code Frequency band
B1 136MHz to 174MHz
H5 400MHz to 470MHza
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.
H7 450MHz to 520MHza
K5 757MHz to 870MHz (Tx)
757MHz to 776MHz (Rx)
850MHz to 870MHz (Rx)

TM9400 Specifications Manual Introduction 7
© Tait Limited November 2016
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 re-
transmitting 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 (2.5kHz
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.

8 Introduction TM9400 Specifications Manual

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
150–174MHz 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.

TM9400 Specifications Manual Introduction 9

3 Transmitter Specifications
This chapter compares the performance of the transmitter in a TM9400
radio with transmitter requirements specified by ETSI and TIA.
Where an ANSI/TIA or ETSI EN 300 113 test method was used to measure
TM9400 performance, this is indicated in parentheses. Where the ETSI test
method EN 300 086-1 was used, no test method is named. Please see also
the footnotes to the tables.
This equipment is compatible with the emissions listed in the following
table.
Notice Some emission designators may not apply in all regions. Not
all models support all emission designators. Contact your regional Tait
office for details.
Notice The TM9400 specifications in this manual are typical perfor-
mance figures that are intended only to provide guidance. They are sub-
ject 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.
For important information about how radio performance figures were
derived, see Chapter 1 Introduction.
