ÖNORM EN 300296-1 V 1.1.1

The present document covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to avoid harmful interference and to make acceptable use of the available frequencies. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be required by a user, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable. The present document applies to equipment with integral antennas, used in angle modulation systems in the land mobile service, operating on radio frequencies between 30 MHz and 1 000 MHz, with channel separations of 12,5 kHz, 20 kHz and 25 kHz, and is intended primarily for analogue speech. The present document is based upon ETS 300 296, and is a general standard, the provisions of which may be superseded in whole or in part by specific standards for specific applications. In the present document different requirements are given for the different radio frequency bands, channel separations, environmental conditions and types of equipment, where appropriate. The type of equipment covered by the present document is handportable stations with integral antennas. The present document covers angle modulation to be used for radio equipment, but individual national administrations are free to choose the type of modulation. Channel separations, maximum transmitter output power/effective radiated power and the inclusion of automatic transmitter shut-off facility may all be conditions attaching to the issue of a licence by the appropriate administration. The present document is complementary to ETS 300 086, which covers radio equipment with an internal or external RF connector, for use in the land mobile service. It is primarily intended for omnidirectional applications. Additional standards or specifications may be required for equipment such as that intended for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
