§ 95.1767   GMRS transmitting power limits.

   This section contains transmitting power limits for GMRS stations. The
   maximum transmitting power depends on which channels are being used and
   the type of station.

   (a) 462/467 MHz main channels. The limits in this paragraph apply to
   stations transmitting on any of the 462 MHz main channels or any of the
   467 MHz main channels. Each GMRS transmitter type must be capable of
   operating within the allowable power range. GMRS licensees are
   responsible for ensuring that their GMRS stations operate in compliance
   with these limits.

   (1) The transmitter output power of mobile, repeater and base stations
   must not exceed 50 Watts.

   (2) The transmitter output power of fixed stations must not exceed 15
   Watts.

   (b) 462 MHz interstitial channels. The effective radiated power (ERP)
   of mobile, hand-held portable and base stations transmitting on the 462
   MHz interstitial channels must not exceed 5 Watts.

   (c) 467 MHz interstitial channels. The effective radiated power (ERP)
   of hand-held portable units transmitting on the 467 MHz interstitial
   channels must not exceed 0.5 Watt. Each GMRS transmitter type capable
   of transmitting on these channels must be designed such that the ERP
   does not exceed 0.5 Watt.
