Sec.  80.207   Classes of emission.

   (a) Authorization to use radiotelephone and radiotelegraph emissions by ship
   and  coast  stations includes the use of digital selective calling and
   selective calling techniques in accordance with  Sec. 80.225.

   (b) In radiotelegraphy communications employing a modulated carrier the

   peak envelope power;

   (2) For suppressed carrier transmitters at a power level at least 40 dB
   below peak envelope power; and

   (3) For reduced or variable level carrier:

   (i) In the 1600–4000 kHz band:

   (A) For coast station transmitters 18 ±2 dB below peak envelope power;

   (B) For ship station transmitters installed before January 2, 1982, 16 ±2 dB
   below peak envelope power; and

   (C) For ship station transmitters installed after January 1, 1982, 18 ±2 dB
   below peak envelope power.

   (ii) In the 4000–27500 kHz band:

   (A) For coast station transmitters 18 ±2 dB below peak envelope power;

   (B) For ship station transmitters installed before January 2, 1978, 16 ±2 dB
   below peak envelope power; and

   (C) For ship station transmitters installed after January 1, 1978, 18 ±2 dB

   ^19J2D is permitted only on 2000–27500 kHz.

   ^20If a station uses another type of digital emission, it must comply with
