§ 90.215 Transmitter measurements.
(a) The licensee of each station shall employ a suitable procedure to
determine that the carrier frequency of each transmitter authorized to
operate with an output power in excess of two watts is maintained
within the tolerence prescribed in § 90.213. This determination shall
be made, and the results entered in the station records in accordance
with the following:
(1) When the transmitter is initially installed;
(2) When any change is made in the transmitter which may affect the
carrier frequency or its stability.
(b) The licensee of each station shall employ a suitable procedure to
determine that each transmitter authorized to operate with an output
power in excess of two watts does not exceed the maximum figure
specified on the current station authorization. On authorizations
stating only the input power to the final radiofrequency stage, the
maximum permissible output power is 75 percent for frequencies below 25
MHz and 60 percent of the input power for frequencies above 25 MHz. If
a non-DC final radiofrequency stage is utilized, then the output power
shall not exceed 75 percent of the input power. This determination
shall be made, and the results thereof entered into the station
records, in accordance with the following:
(1) When the transmitter is initially installed;
(2) When any change is made in the transmitter which may increase the
transmitter power input.
(c) The licensee of each station shall employ a suitable procedure to
determine that the modulation of each transmitter, which is authorized
to operate with an output power in excess of two watts, does not exceed
the limits specified in this part. This determination shall be made and
the following results entered in the station records, in accordance
with the following:
(1) When the transmitter is initially installed;
(2) When any change is made in the transmitter which may affect the
modulation characteristics.
(d) The determinations required by paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this
section may, at the opinion of the licensee, be made by a qualified
engineering measurement service, in which case the required record
entries shall show the name and address of the engineering measurement
service as well as the name of the person making the measurements.
(e) In the case of mobile transmitters, the determinations required by
paragraphs (a) and (c) of this section may be made at a test or service
bench: Provided, That the measurements are made under load conditions
equivalent to actual operating conditions; and provided further, that
after installation in the mobile unit the transmitter is given a
routine check to determine that it is capable of being received
satisfactorly by an appropriate receiver.
