rejection for Cellular Service
frequencies, tuning, control and filtering
circuitry are inaccessible and any
attempt to modify the scanning receiver
to receive Cellular Service transmissions
will likely render the scanning receiver
inoperable. The Commission’s rules also
require manufacturers to submit
information with any application for
certification that describes the testing
method used to determine compliance
with the 38 dB image rejection ratio, the
design features that prevent
modification of the scanning receiver to
receive Cellular Service transmissions,
and the design steps taken to make
tuning, control, and filtering circuitry
inaccessible. Furthermore, the FCC
