Sec. 80.911 VHF transmitter.
(a) The transmitter must be capable of transmission of G3E emission on
156.800 MHz, 156.300 MHz, and on the ship-to-shore working frequencies
necessary to communicate with public coast stations serving the area in
which the vessel is navigated.
(b) The transmitter must be adjusted so that the transmission of speech
normally produces peak modulation within the limits 75 percent and 100
percent.
(c) The transmitter must be certificated to transmit between 20 watts and 25
watts, on each of the frequencies 156.300 MHz, 156.800 MHz and on
ship-to-shore public correspondence channels, into 50 ohms effective
resistance when operated with a primary supply voltage of 13.6 volts DC.
(d) When an individual demonstration of the capability of the transmitter is
necessary the output power requirements prescribed in this paragraph must be
met as follows:
(1) Measurements of primary supply voltage and transmitter output power must
be made with the equipment drawing energy only from ship's battery;
(2) The primary supply voltage, measured at the power input terminals to the
transmitter, and the output power of the transmitter, terminated in a
matching artificial load, must be measured at the end of 10 minutes of
continuous operation of the transmitter at its full power output.
(3) The primary supply voltage must not be less than 11.5 volts.
(4) The transmitter output power must be not less than 15 watts.
(5) For primary supply voltages, measured in accordance with the procedures
of this paragraph, greater than 11.5 volts, but less than 12.6 volts, the
required transmitter output power shall be equal to or greater than the
value calculated from the formula
P=4.375(V)−35.313
where V equals the measured primary voltage and P is the calculated output
power in watts.”
