As explained below, this traditional framework was then calibrated to reflect a careful balancing of interests between licensed M-LMS operations and other users, including users of Part 15 devices. See infra paras. 8-9. 47 C.F.R. §§ 2.106, 18.301, 18.111(c). Examples of federal radiolocation systems include high-power military air surveillance radars on aircraft carriers, tracking and telemetry radar systems used in aeronautical flight testing, systems that monitor the positions of missiles, drone and manned aircraft, and land units, and perimeter protection devices for intrusion detection at military facilities. Naval radars use the band because the band's propagation characteristics enable

Any emissions appearing outside of the specified frequency band must continue to meet the emission limits even if those limits require an attenuation of greater than 20 dB.

The ISM bands are also listed in 47 C.F.R. § 18.301. ISM equipment uses radio frequency energy to perform work such as heating or lighting rather than communications. See 47 C.F.R. § 18.107(c). Examples of ISM equipment include microwave ovens, industrial heating equipment, and RF lighting devices. Because ISM equipment does not perform communication functions, it is not susceptible to interference from RF communication devices. We also note that spectrum in
