\1\ The power is measured at the transmitter output terminals and the type of p
ower is determined according to
the emission designator as follows:
(i) Mean power (pY) for amplitude modulated emissions and transmitting both sid
ebands using unmodulated full
carrier.
(ii) Peak envelope power (pX) for all emission designators other than those ref
erred to in paragraph (i) of this
note.
\2\ Power and antenna height are restricted to the minimum necessary to achieve
the required service.
\3\ Transmitter power may be increased to overcome line and duplexer losses but
must not exceed 25 watts
delivered to the antenna.
\4\ Frequency, emission, and maximum power will be determined after coordinatio
n with appropriate Government
agencies.
\5\ To be used with airborne marine equipment certificated for part 80 (ship) a
nd used in accordance with part
87.
\6\ Applicable onIy to marine frequencies used for public correspondence.
\7\ Frequency, emission, and maximum power will be determined by appropriate st
andards during the certification
process.
\8\ Power may not exceed 60 watts per carrier, as measured at the input of the
antenna subsystem, including any
installed diplexer. The maximum EIRP may not exceed 2000 watts per carrier.
\9\ Excludes automatic link establishment.
\10\ Power is limited to 0.5 watt, but may not exceed 2 watts when station is u
sed in an automatic unattended
mode.
