Sec. 22.659 Effective radiated power limits.
The purpose of the rules in this section, which limit effective radiated
power (ERP), is to reduce the likelihood that interference to television
reception 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.
(a) Maximum ERP. The ERP of base transmitters must not exceed 100 Watts
under any circumstances. The ERP of mobile transmitters must not exceed 60
Watts under any circumstances.
(b) Co-channel protection from base transmitters. The ERP of base
transmitters in the New York-Northeastern New Jersey urban area must not
exceed the limits in the tables referenced in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3)
of this section. The limits depend upon the height above average terrain of
the base transmitter antenna and the distance between the base transmitter
and the nearest protected TV station location in paragraph (b)(1) of this
section.
(1) The protected TV station locations are as follows (all coordinates are
referenced to North American Datum 1983 (NAD83)):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Control transmitter frequency range Protected TV station location
------------------------------------------------------------------------
470-476 MHz............................ Washington, DC,
38 °57[min]17.4[sec] N.

40 °15[min]45.3[sec] N.
Lat. 76 °27[min]47.9[sec]

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) Tables E–8 and E–9 of this section apply to base transmitters in the New
York-Northeastern New Jersey urban area that transmit on channels in the
476–482 MHz range.
(3) Tables E–10 and E–11 of this section apply to base transmitters in the
New York-Northeastern New Jersey urban area that transmit on channels in the
470–476 MHz range.
(c) Adjacent channel protection from base transmitters. The ERP of base
transmitters must not exceed the limits in Table E–12 of this section. The
limits depend upon the height above average terrain of the base transmitter
antenna and the distance between the base transmitter and the nearest
protected TV station location specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this section.
(1) The protected TV station locations are as follows (all coordinates are
referenced to North American Datum 1983 (NAD83)):

See Sec. 22.659(b)(2). This table is for antenna heights of 152 meters (500 feet)
or less above average terrain. For antenna heights between those in
the table, use the next higher antenna height. For distances between those in
the table, use the next lower distance.
