§ 90.429 Control point and dispatch point requirements.
(a) Control point required. Unless permitted to be operated on an unattended
basis, each station shall be provided with a control point;
(b) A control point is an operating position:
(1) Which must be under the control and supervision of the licensee;
(2) Where a person immediately responsible for the operation of the
transmitter is stationed;
(3) Where the monitoring facilities required by this part are installed.
(c) Control point location. The location of the control point will be
specified in the station license and will be assumed to be the same as that
of the transmitting equipment unless an application for a different location
has been approved by the Commission.
(d) Control point facilities required. At each control point, the following
facilities shall be installed:
(1) A carrier-operated device which will provide continuous visual
indication when the transmitter is radiating, or, a pilot lamp or meter
which will provide continuous visual indication when the transmitter
circuits have been placed in a condition to produce radiation. The
provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to hand-carried transmitters
or transmitters installed on motorcycles. The control point for a
transmitter utilized to activate another radio station may employ a single
pilot lamp or meter as an indication of the activation of local and remote
transmitters.
(2) Facilities which will permit the person responsible for the operation of
the transmitter either to disconnect the dispatch point circuits from the
transmitter or to render the transmitter inoperative from any dispatch point
under his supervision; and
(3) Facilities which will permit the person responsible for the operation of
the transmitter to turn the transmitter carrier on and off at will.
(e) Dispatch point. A dispatch point is any position from which messages may
be transmitted under the supervision of the person at a control point who is
responsible for the operation of the transmitter. Dispatch points may be
installed without authorization from the Commission.
