§ 73.258 Indicating instruments.
(a) Each FM broadcast station shall be equipped with indicating
instruments which conform with the specifications described in
§ 73.1215 for determining power by the indirect method; for indicating
the relative amplitude of the transmission line radio frequency
current, voltage, or power; and with such other instruments as are
necessary for the proper adjustment, operation, and maintenance of the
transmitting system.
(b) The function of each instrument shall be clearly and permanently
shown in the instrument itself or on the panel immediately adjacent
thereto.
(c) In the event that any one of these indicating instruments becomes
defective when no substitute which conforms with the required
specifications is available, the station may be operated without the
defective instrument pending its repair or replacement for a period not
in excess of 60 days without further authority of the FCC: Provided
that, if the defective instrument is the transmission line meter of a
station which determines the output power by the direct method, the
operating power shall be determined by the indirect method in
accordance with § 73.267(c) during the entire time the station is
operated without the transmission line meter.
(d) If conditions beyond the control of the licensee prevent the
restoration of the meter to service within the above allowed period, an
informal letter request in accordance with § 73.3549 may be filed with
the FCC, Attention: Audio Division, Media Bureau, in Washington, DC for
such additional time as may be required to complete repairs of the
defective instrument.
