§  78.104   Authorized bandwidth and emission designator.

   (a) The authorized bandwidth permitted to be used by a CARS station and
   specified in the station license shall be the occupied or necessary
   bandwidth, whichever is greater, except when otherwise authorized by
   the Commission in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section.

   (b) As an exception to the provision of paragraph (a) of this section,
   the Commission may approve requests to base the authorized bandwidth
   for the station on the lesser of the occupied or necessary bandwidth
   where a persuasive showing is made that:

   (1) The frequency stability of the transmitting equipment to be used
   will permit compliance with § 78.103(b)(1) and, additionally, will
   permit 99 percent of the total radiated power to be kept within the
   frequency limits of the assigned channel.

   (c) The emission designator shall be specified in terms of the
   necessary bandwidth. (See § 2.201(a) of this chapter.)
