Sec. 74.462 Authorized bandwidth and emissions.
(a) Each authorization for a new remote pickup broadcast station or system
shall require the use of certificated equipment and such equipment shall be
operated in accordance with emission specifications included in the grant of
certification and as prescribed in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this
section.
(b) The maximum authorized bandwidth of emissions corresponding to the types
of emissions specified below, and the maximum authorized frequency deviation
in the case of frequency or phase modulated emission, shall be as follows:
Frequencies Authorized bandwidth
(kHz) Maximum frequency deviation^1
(kHz) Type of emission^2

^1Applies where F1A, F1B, F1D, F1E, F2A, F2B, F2D, F2E, F3E, or F9E
emissions are used.
^2Stations operating above 450 MHz shall show a need for employing A1A, A1B,
A1D, A1E, A2A, A2B, A2D, A2E, F1A, F1B, F1D, F1E, F2A, F2B, F2D, or F2E
emission.
^3New or modified licenses for use of the frequencies will not be granted to
utilize transmitters on board aircraft, or to use a bandwidth in excess of
30 kHz and maximum deviation exceeding 5 kHz
^4For stations licensed or applied for before April 16, 2003, the sum of the
bandwidth of emission and tolerance on frequencies 166.25 MHz or 170.15 MHz
shall not exceed 25 kHz, and such operation may continue until January 1,
2005. For new stations licensed or applied for on or after April 16, 2003,
the sum of the bandwidth of emission and tolerance on these frequencies
shall not exceed 12.5 kHz. For all remote pickup broadcast stations, the sum
of the bandwidth of emission and tolerance on these frequencies shall not
exceed 12.5 kHz on or after January 1, 2005.
(c) For emissions on frequencies above 25 MHz with authorized bandwidths up
to 30 kHz, the emissions shall comply with the emission mask and transient
frequency behavior requirements of Sec. Sec. 90.210 and 90.214 of this chapter. For
all other emissions, the mean power of emissions shall be attenuated below
the mean output power of the transmitter in accordance with the following
schedule:
(1) On any frequency removed from the assignment frequency by more than 50
percent up to and including 100 percent of the authorized bandwidth: at
least 25 dB:
(2) On any frequency removed from the assigned frequency by more than 100
percent up to and including 250 percent of the authorized bandwidth: at
least 35 dB;
(3) On any frequency removed from the assigned frequency by more than 250
percent on the authorized bandwidth; at least 43 plus 10 log^10 (mean output
power, in watts) dB.
(d) In the event a station's emissions outside its authorized channel cause
harmful interference, the Commission may, at its discretion, require the
licensee to take such further steps as may be necessary to eliminate the
interference.
Note: The measurements of emission power can be expressed in peak or mean
values provided they are expressed in the same parameters as the unmodulated
transmitter carrier power.
