EFJohnson Adds 700 MHz Capability into its Mobile and Portable Radios
 
Enhancement Enables Operation 
on Newly Reallocated Spectrum 

Washington, DC

March 18, 2004

 EFJ, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFJI) announced today that its 
EFJohnson subsidiary has added 700 MHz capability 
to its 5100 Series Portable Radios and 5300 Series 
Mobile Radios. Order acceptance and shipping will 
be after FCC type certification is received. 

“Adding the 700 MHz capability to our radios enables 
our customers to operate on the 700 MHz spectrum, 
which is now available for public safety communications,” 
said Michael E. Jalbert, chairman and chief executive 
officer of EFJ, Inc. “These new radios will work in 
narrowband voice, and offer the same features the 
industry has come to expect from EFJohnson,” Jalbert 
said. 

The EFJohnson 5100 and 5300 Radios meet the 
requirements for both analog and Project 25 digital 
formats, and support mixed mode operation. 

In 1998, the FCC adopted service rules for the 24 
megahertz of spectrum in the 764-776/794-806 MHz 
frequency bands (collectively, the 700 MHz band). 
At the direction of Congress, this spectrum was 
reallocated from television broadcast services to 
public safety communications services. It will be 
available as soon as existing TV stations vacate t
he spectrum, which is targeted for no later than 
December 31, 2006. In January 2001, the FCC 
adopted technical and operational standards for 
use of the narrow band portion of this spectrum.
