5.8 GHz (5.725-5.825 GHz)
The 5.8 GHz Link CX radios operate under the FCC Part 15.247 band regulations, which certify the
radios for +16 dBm average or +24.1 dBm peak transmit power for intentional radiators in a
point-to-point configuration. The 5.8 GHz Link CX radios are equipped with an integral or an external
antenna. The 5.8 GHz Link CX radios have been FCC certified in the following configurations:
• Link CX, 5.8 GHz, integral antenna
• Link CX, 5.8 GHz, 2 ft. (61 cm) external Radio Waves, Inc. Model SP2-5.2 parabolic antenna
• Link CX, 5.8 GHz, 2 ft. (61 cm) external Gabriel Electronics, Inc. Model SSP2-52B parabolic
antenna
• Link CX, 5.8 GHz, 4 ft. (122 cm) external Gabriel Electronics, Inc. Model SSP4-52B para-
bolic antenna
See the following table summarizing the technical specifications for the 5.8 GHz version of the Link CX.
