§  23.18   Authorization of power.

   (a) Authorized power. Power, when designated in the respective station
   license for a particular transmitter or transmitters, is peak envelope
   power for transmitters having full, unkeyed carrier, single sideband or
   independent sideband emissions, and mean power for transmitters having
   other emissions, unless specifically expressed otherwise. Designation
   of effective radiated power may appear in the station license in
   addition to designation of power for a transmitter or transmitters,
   when deemed necessary by the Commission.

   (b) Use of minimum power. In the interest of avoiding interference to
   other operations, all stations shall radiate only as much power as is
   necessary to ensure a satisfactory service.
