§ 74.461   Transmitter power.

   (a) Transmitter power is the power at the transmitter output terminals and
   delivered  to  the  antenna,  antenna  transmission line, or any other
   impedance-matched, radio frequency load. For the purpose of this Subpart,
   the transmitter power is the carrier power.

   (b) The authorized transmitter power for a remote pickup broadcast station
   shall be limited to that necessary for satisfactory service and, in any
   event, shall not be greater than 100 watts, except that a station to be
   operated  aboard  an  aircraft  shall normally be limited to a maximum
   authorized power of 15 watts. Specific authorization to operate stations on
   board aircraft with an output power exceeding 15 watts will be issued only
   upon an adequate engineering showing of need, and of the procedures that
   will be taken to avoid harmful interference to other licensees.
