  • would eliminate unnecessary regulatory burdens. With regard to the impact of this requested revision on other amateur stations using the 1.25 m band, the ARRL states that there are significant opportunities for re-use of this spectrum for SS communications and experimentation and that SS emissions in the 1.25 m band would remain subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 97.311 of our Rules. Two comments were received concerning this requested rule change. One commenter states he supports this request. Another commenter, however, opposed the request explaining that interference to other amateur stations using the 220 MHz band in Southern California may result. Discussion. The Commission adopted the present limitation restricting amateur stations to transmitting SS emission types only on frequencies

Currently, amateur stations are authorized to transmit spread spectrum (SS) emission types on any amateur service frequency above 420 MHz, and not below. This frequency limitation was adopted in 1985 to reduce potential interference from transmission of SS emissions. In 1999, the Commission amended Section 97.311(c) to permit amateur stations greater flexibility in the types of SS emissions that could be transmitted, subject to transmitter power restrictions when the station is transmitting such emissions. The frequency bands authorized for transmission of SS emissions, however, were not changed.

  • barrier to SS experimentation.'' ARRL further argues that the APC requirement can be eliminated without increasing the risk of harmful interference because (1) the station licensee or control operator of the station transmitting the SS emission would still be obligated under Section 97.313(a) of the Commission's Rules to use the minimum power necessary to conduct communications, and (2) under Section 97.311(b) of the Commission's Rules, SS communications are already secondary to other amateur service communications. Discussion. One of the purposes of the amateur service is to contribute to the advancement of the radio art. The use of amateur service spectrum to experiment with SS communication systems is consistent with the basis and purpose of the amateur service. In order to experiment,

  • long distances. Based on the record before us, we conclude that eliminating the APC requirement and reducing the maximum allowed transmitter power to ten watts PEP when an amateur station is transmitting a SS emission will afford amateur radio operators greater flexibility to experiment with SS communications, while limiting the potential for interference to other stations. Accordingly, we amend Sections 97.311 and 97.313 of the Commission's Rules as proposed. Conclusion In summary, we believe that the public interest will be served by amending the amateur service rules to eliminate the APC requirement, and reducing the current limit on transmitter output power for amateur stations transmitting SS emission types to ten watts PEP. We believe that these rule changes will (1) encourage
