We also proposed to exempt Access BPL systems from the conducted emissions limits in 15.107(c) of the rules. In this regard, we observed that because Access BPL systems are generally installed on power lines that carry 1,000 to 40,000 volts, measuring the conducted emissions of these systems is very difficult and can also present safety hazards. We stated that since Access BPL systems would still be required to comply with our radiated emission limits, we

Accordingly, we are proposing to maintain the existing Part 15 radiated emission limits for Access BPL systems and devices. In addition, we are proposing to exempt Access BPL systems from the existing conducted emission limits of Section 15.107(c). Because Access BPL systems are installed on power lines that can carry 1,000 volts to 40,000 volts, conducted emission measurements are very difficult to measure, and present safety hazards in connecting test equipment to these lines.

See 47 C.F.R. §§ 15.3(f) and (t), 15.5, 15.31(d), (f), (g) and (h), 15.33(b)(2), 15.107(a)-(c), 15.109(a), (b), (e) and (g), 15.113, 15.201(a), 15.207(c), 15.209(a) and 15.221. Campus radio systems have been operating for over fifty years in the United States at many universities as unlicensed broadcast radio stations in the AM Broadcast band. Initially, the receiver and signal source were attached to the same electric power line. With the advent of the transistor radio, receivers

If not designed properly, a receiver can unintentionally radiate a portion of this energy and/or conduct it onto the AC power line to which the unit is connected and thereby be a source of interference itself. The rules limiting such unintentional emissions from RF devices, including receivers, are set forth in our rules at Section 15.107 (power line conducted emissions), 47 C.F.R. § 15.107 and Section 15.109 (radiated emissions), 47 C.F.R. § 15.109. Certain receivers, such as broadcast television receivers and ``cable ready''/``cable compatible'' receivers are also subject to minimum performance requirements for internally generated noise (``noise figure'') and sensitivity, and in the case of ``cable ready''/``cable compatible'' receivers, adjacent channel, image channel, direct pickup, and
