FCC Regulations - Part 97 Amateur Radio Service
[Effective Oct 1, 2006.]
Subpart D Technical Standards
Sec. 97.313 Transmitter power standards.
(a) An amateur station must use the minimum transmitter power
necessary to carry out the desired communications.
(b) No station may transmit with a transmitter power exceeding 1.5
kW PEP.
(c) No station may transmit with a transmitter power exceeding 200 W
PEP on:
(1) The 3.675-3.725 MHz, 7.10-7.15 MHz, 10.10-10.15 MHz, and 21.1-
21.2 MHz segments;
(2) The 28.1-28.5 MHz segment when the control operator is a Novice
Class operator or a Technician Class operator who has received credit
for proficiency in telegraphy in accordance with the international
requirements; or
(3) The 7.050-7.075 MHz segment when the station is within ITU
Regions 1 or 3.
(d) No station may transmit with a transmitter power exceeding 25 W
PEP
on the VHF 1.25 m band when the control operator is a Novice operator.
(e) No station may transmit with a transmitter power exceeding 5 W
PEP on the UHF 23 cm band when the control operator is a Novice
operator.
(f) No station may transmit with a transmitter power exceeding 50 W
PEP on the UHF 70 cm band from an area specified in footnote US7 to
mutual agreement, on a case-by-case basis, between the District Director
of the applicable field facility and the military area frequency
coordinator at the applicable military base. An Earth station or
telecommand station, however, may transmit on the 435-438 MHz segment
with a maximum of 611 W effective radiated power (1 kW equivalent
isotropically radiated power) without the authorization otherwise
required. The transmitting antenna elevation angle between the lower
half-power (-3 dB relative to the peak or antenna bore sight) point and
the horizon must always be greater than 10\o\.
(g) No station may transmit with a transmitter power exceeding 50 W
PEP on the 33 cm band from within 241 km of the boundaries of the White
Sands Missile Range. Its boundaries are those portions of Texas and New
Mexico bounded on the south by latitude 31[deg]41[min] North, on the
east by longitude 104[deg]11[min] West, on the north by latitude
34[deg]30[min] North, and on the west by longitude 107[deg]30[min] West.
(h) No station may transmit with a transmitter power exceeding 50 W
PEP on the 219-220 MHz segment of the 1.25 m band.
