   Note 4—If spurious or harmonic emissions result in harmful interference (any
   transmission, radiation or induction that endangers the functioning of a
   radionavigation or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs or
   repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunication service operating in accordance
   with  applicable  laws, treaties and regulations), the FCC may, at its
   discretion, require appropriate technical changes in the station equipment
   to  alleviate the interference, including the use of a low pass filter
   between the transmitter antenna terminals and the antenna feed line.

   Note—At band edges, the tighter limit applies.

   (2) The emission limits shown in the above table are based on measurements
   employing a CISPR quasi-peak detector except that above 1 GHz, the limit is
   based on measurements employing an average detector. Measurements above 1
   GHz shall be performed using a minimum resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz. See
   also  Sec. 95.605.

   (3) The emissions from a MICS transmitter must be measured to at least the

   by the transmitter.

   (4) Emissions within the MICS band (402–405 MHz) more than 150 kHz away from
   the center frequency of the spectrum the transmission is intended to occupy,
   will be attenuated below the transmitter output power by at least 20 dB.
   Compliance  with  this  limit  is  based  on  the  use  of measurement
   instrumentation  employing a peak detector function with an instrument
   resolution bandwidth approximately equal to 1.0 percent of the emission
   bandwidth of the device under measurement.

   (5)  Emissions  250 kHz or less that are above and below the MICS band
   (402–405 MHz) will be attenuated below the maximum permitted output power by
   at  least  20  dB.  Compliance  with this limit is based on the use of
   measurement instrumentation employing a peak detector function with an
   instrument resolution bandwidth approximately equal to 1.0 percent of the
   emission bandwidth of the device under measurement.
