§  15.5   General conditions of operation.

   (a) Persons operating intentional or unintentional radiators shall not
   be deemed to have any vested or recognizable right to continued use of
   any given frequency by virtue of prior registration or certification of
   equipment, or, for power line carrier systems, on the basis of prior
   notification of use pursuant to §  90.35(g) of this chapter.

   (b) Operation of an intentional, unintentional, or incidental radiator
   is subject to the conditions that no harmful interference is caused and

   of an authorized radio station, by another intentional or unintentional
   radiator, by industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) equipment, or by
   an incidental radiator.

   (c) The operator of a radio frequency device shall be required to cease
   operating the device upon notification by a Commission representative
   that the device is causing harmful interference. Operation shall not
   resume until the condition causing the harmful interference has been
   corrected.

   (d) Intentional radiators that produce Class B emissions (damped wave)
   are prohibited.
