TRACKING TRANSMITTER
INTRODUCTION
The Communications Specialists Model CSTXR.1 wrist or ankle mounted transmitter is
used as a homing device to locate persons by Doppler positioning or triangulation. It is
FCC Certified and must be used with a valid FCC license, issued for telemetry uses,
under Part 90.259 of the Rules. It is programmed at the factory to operate in the 217-
220MHz band. Power output is 10mW. It uses a widely available CR2450 Lithium
battery which operates the transmitter for more than 30 days. The CSTXR.1 utilizes a
TCXO rather than a fragile crystal so it is almost indestructible. The case is completely
waterproof and the transmitter module itself is also completely waterproof.

FCC COMPLIANCE NOTICE
In order to legally operate this transmitter, you must first meet the eligibility requirements
of FCC Part 90.35. This means you must be engaged in a commercial or educational
activity. Then you must have a valid FCC license yourself or be part of a for-profit or
non-profit sharing agreement as detailed in 90.179 held by your equipment provider or
someone else. If you choose to obtain your own FCC license, we will help you with the
following required steps. We will recommend a License Administrator who will prepare
your license application and submit it to a Frequency Coordinator. A few questions will
need to be answered such as your company name, address, area of planned operation, etc.
We will provide the technical information required such as frequencies requested, output
power, emission type, etc. A separate fee will be required for the Administrator,
Frequency Coordinator, and FCC. After your license is issued and equipment installed,
the Administrator will notify the FCC that buildout is complete. Your license will
normally be issued for a 10 year term. All operation is secondary to the fixed and mobile
services. The FCC ID for this transmitter is CFXTXR-1.
