Sec. 22.627 Effective radiated power limits.
The effective radiated power (ERP) of transmitters operating on the channels
listed in Sec. 22.621 must not exceed the limits in this section.
(a) Maximum ERP. The ERP must not exceed the applicable limits in this
paragraph under any circumstances.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maximum ERP
Frequency range (MHz) (watts)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
470-512.................................................... 1000
928-929.................................................... 50
932-933.................................................... 30
941-942.................................................... 600
952-960.................................................... 150
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) 470–512 MHz limits. The purpose of the rules in paragraphs (b)(1)
through (b)(3) of this section is to reduce the likelihood that interference
to television receiption from public mobile operations on these channels
will occur. The protected TV station locations specified in this section are
the locations of record as of September 1974, and these do not change even
though the TV stations may have been subsequently relocated.
(1) Co-channel protection. The ERP of control transmitters must not exceed
the limits in the tables in paragraphs (b)(1)(ii) and (b)(1)(iii) of this
section. The limits depend upon the height above average terrain of the
control transmitter antenna and the distance between the control transmitter
and the nearest protected TV station location in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this
section.
(i) The protected TV station locations are as follows (all coordinates are
referenced to North American Datum 1983 (NAD83)):

(ii) Table E–3 and E–4 apply to control transmitters in the New
York-Northeastern New Jersey and Cleveland urban areas that transmit on
channels in the 476–482 MHz range and to control transmitters in the Detroit
urban area that transmit on channels in the 482–488 MHz range.
(iii) Tables E–5 and E–6 apply to all control transmitters except those to
which Tables E–3 and E–4 apply.
(2) Adjacent channel protection. The ERP of control transmitters must not
exceed the limits in Table E–7. The limits depend upon the height above
average terrain of the control transmitter antenna and the distance between
the control transmitter and the nearest protected TV station location listed
in this paragraph. The protected TV station locations are as follows (all
coordinates are referenced to North American Datum 1983 (NAD83)):
