§  95.639   Maximum transmitter power.

   (a) No GMRS transmitter, under any condition of modulation, shall
   exceed:

   (1) 50 W Carrier power (average TP during one unmodulated RF cycle)
   when transmitting emission type A1D, F1D, G1D, A3E, F3E or G3E.

   (2) 50 W peak envelope TP when transmitting emission type H1D, J1D,
   R1D, H3E, J3E or R3E.

   (b) No R/C transmitter, under any condition of modulation, shall exceed
   a carrier power or peak envelope TP (single-sideband only) of:

   (1) 4 W in the 26-27 MHz frequency band, except on channel frequency
   27.255 MHz;

   (2) 25 W on channel frequency 27.255 MHz;

   (3) 0.75 W in the 72-76 MHz frequency band.

   (c) No CB transmitter, under any condition of modulation, shall exceed:

   (1) 4 W Carrier power when transmitting emission type A1D or A3E;

   (2) 12 W peak envelope TP when transmitting emission type H1D, J1D,
   R1D, H3E, J3E or R3E. Each CB transmitter which transmits emission type
   H3E, J3E or R3E must automatically prevent the TP from exceeding 12 W
   peak envelope TP or the manufacturer's rated peak envelope TP,
   whichever is less.

   (d) No FRS unit, under any condition of modulation, shall exceed 0.500
   W effective radiated power (ERP).

   (e) The maximum transmitter output power authorized for LPRS stations
   is 100 mW.

   (f) In the MedRadio Service for transmitters that are not excepted
   under § 95.628(b) from the frequency monitoring requirements of
   § 95.628(a), the maximum radiated power in any 300 kHz bandwidth by
   MedRadio transmitters operating at 402-405 MHz, or in any 100 kHz
   bandwidth by MedRadio transmitters operating at 401-402 MHz or 405-406
   MHz shall not exceed 25 microwatts EIRP. For transmitters that are
   excepted under § 95.628(b) from the frequency monitoring requirements
   of § 95.628(a), the power radiated by any station operating in 402-405
   MHz shall not exceed 100 nanowatts EIRP confined to a maximum total
   emission bandwidth of 300 kHz centered at 403.65 MHz. For transmitters
   that are excepted under § 95.628(b) from the frequency monitoring
   requirements of § 95.628(a), the power radiated by any station
   operating in 401-401.85 MHz or 405-406 MHz shall not exceed 250
   nanowatts EIRP in any 100 kHz bandwidth and in 401.85-402 MHz shall not
   exceed 25 microwatts in the 150 kHz bandwidth. See § § 95.633(e). The
   antenna associated with any MedRadio transmitter must be supplied with
   the transmitter and shall be considered part of the transmitter subject
   to equipment authorization. Compliance with these EIRP limits may be
   determined as set forth in § 95.628(g).

   (g) The maximum field strength authorized for WMTS stations in the
   608-614 MHz band is 200 mV/m, measured at 3 meters. For stations in the
   1395-1400 MHz and 1427-1429.5 MHz bands, the maximum field strength is
   740 mV/m, measured at 3 meters.

   (h) No MURS unit, under any condition of modulation, shall exceed 2
   Watts transmitter power output.

   (i) DSRCS-OBUs are governed under subpart L of this part, except the
   maximum output power for portable DSRCS-OBUs is 1.0 mW. For purposes of
   this paragraph, a portable is a transmitting device designed to be used
   so that the radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20
   centimeters of the body of the user.
