  • § 15.239(b). In the instant case, measurements showed that the field strength of the signal exceeded the permissible level for a non-licensed low-power radio transmitter by 6,105 times. FM broadcast operation on frequency 87.9 is limited for use only by licensed noncommercial educational FM broadcast stations that have been required by the Commission to change frequencies. See 47 C.F.R. § 73.501. Operation of a non-licensed, low-powered transmitter on frequency 87.9 MHz is restricted to periodic operation, which is generally used for the transmission of control signals, such as those used with alarm systems, garage door openers and remote switches. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 15.209, 15.231. Because operation on frequency 87.9 MHz must be limited in duration, continuous operation is not permitted.

  • Our discussion of some summary statistics is therefore confined to the data that BIA has available. Commercial FM stations are located in the non-reserved band of the FM radio band. Non-commercial educational (``NCE'') stations have exclusive use of the NCE band of the FM radio band, but some NCE stations are located in the non-reserved band. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 73.501(a), 73.202(a)(1). Not all full-service commercial FM stations have a higher power level than LPFM stations.

  • its database. Our discussion of some summary statistics is therefore confined to the data that BIA hasavailable. 17Commercial FM stations are located in the non-reserved band of the FM radio band. Non-commercial educational ("NCE") stations have exclusive use of the NCE band of the FM radio band, but some NCE stations are located in the non-reserved band. See47 C.F.R. §§ 73.501(a), 73.202(a)(1). 18Not all full-service commercial FM stations have a higher power level than LPFM stations. Twenty-eight full- service commercial FM stations have 100 watts of power or less. However, most full-service commercial FM (continued....) Federal Communications Commission DA 12-2 27 generally have much higher antenna heights than LPFM stations, with a median height of 155 meters versus 29 meters for
