and must be maintained within 0.005 percent of the frequency of
operation. Use on assigned channel center frequencies is not required.
(iii) The emitted signal shall be non-voice modulation (type PO
emission).
(iv) The maximum occupied bandwidth, containing 99 percent of the
radiated power, shall not exceed 2.0 kHz.
(v) The transmitter output power shall not exceed a mean power of 30
mW nor shall any peak exceed 1 watt peak power, as measured into a 50
ohm resistive load. Should the transmitter be supplied with a
permanently attached antenna or should the transmitter and antenna
combination be contained in a sealed unit, the following standard may be
used in lieu of the above: The field strength of the fundamental signal
of the transmitter and antenna combination shall not exceed 0.4 V/m mean
or 2.3 V/m peak when measured at a distance of 3 meters.
(vi) The transmitter shall contain positive means to limit the
transmission time to no more than 10 days. In the event of a malfunction
of this positive means, the transmitter signal shall cease. The use of
battery life to accomplish the transmission time limitation is
permissible.
(6) Frequencies in the 421-430 MHz band are available in the
Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo areas in accordance with the rules in
Secs. 90.273 through 90.281.
(7) The frequency 173.075 MHz is available for stolen vehicle
recovery systems on a shared basis with the Federal Government. Stolen
vehicle recovery systems are limited to recovering stolen vehicles and
are not authorized for general purpose vehicle tracking or monitoring.
Mobile transmitters operating on this frequency are limited to 2.5 watts
power output and base transmitters are limited 300 watts ERP. F1D and
F2D emissions may be used within a maximum authorized 20 kHz bandwidth.
Transmissions from mobiles shall be limited to 200 milliseconds every 10
seconds, except that when a vehicle is being tracked actively,
transmissions may be increased to 200 milliseconds every second.
Transmissions from base stations will be limited to a total time of 1
second every minute. Applications for base stations operating on this
frequency shall require coordination with the Federal Government.
Applicants shall perform an analysis for each base station located
within 169 km (105 miles) of a TV channel 7 transmitter of potential
interference to TV channel 7 viewers. Such stations will be authorized
if the applicant has limited the interference contour to fewer than 100
residences or if the applicant:
(i) Shows that the proposed site is the only suitable location;
(ii) Develops a plan to control any interference caused to TV
reception from the operations; and
(iii) Agrees to make such adjustments in the TV receivers affected
as may be necessary to eliminate interference caused by its operations.
The licensee must eliminate any interference caused by its operation to
TV channel 7 reception within 30 days of the time it is notified in
writing by the Commission. If this interference is not removed within
the 30-day period, operation of the base station must be discontinued.
The licensee is expected to help resolve all complaints of interference.
(g) Limitation on number of frequencies assignable. Normally only
one base and one mobile station frequency, will be assigned for mobile
service operations by a single applicant in a given area. The assignment
of an additional frequency or pair of frequencies will be made only upon
a satisfactory showing of need, except that:
(1) Additional frequencies above 25 MHz may be assigned in
connection with operation of mobile repeaters in accordance with
Sec. 90.247, notwithstanding this limitation.
(2) The frequency 39.06 MHz may be assigned notwithstanding this
limitation.
(3) A licensee may use, without special authorization from the
Commission, any mobile service frequency between 40 and 952 MHz, listed
in subpart B of this part of the rules, for communications in connection
with physical surveillance, stakeouts, raids, and other such activities.
Such use shall be on a secondary basis to operations of licensees
regularly authorized on the assigned frequencies. The maximum output
power that may be used for such communications is 2 watts. Transmitters,
operating under this provision of the rules, shall be exempted from the
station identification requirements of Sec. 90.425. Use of Public Safety
frequencies not listed in paragraph (d) of this section is conditional
on the approval of the coordinator corresponding to each frequency.
Spread spectrum transmitters may be operated on Public Safety
frequencies between 37 and 952 MHz, providing that they are type
accepted by the Commission under the provisions of Secs. 2.803 and
90.203 of the rules, and meet the following conditions:
[[Page 288]]
(i) Frequency hopping transmitters can be operated, with a maximum
output power of 2 watts, on any Public Safety mobile service frequency
between 37 and 952 MHz listed in subpart B of this part. At least 20
hopping frequencies shall be used and the average time of occupancy on
any frequency shall not be greater than \1/10\ second in every 2
seconds;
(ii) Use of spread spectrum transmitters under this section of the
rules is subject to approval by the applicable frequency coordinator of
the radio services of the district in which the license and equipment
are to be used.
(iii) The use of direct sequence spread spectrum equipment is also
permitted. Equipment must meet the technical standards of 47 CFR 15.247.
(4) In addition to the frequencies assigned for mobile service
operation, one base station frequency above 152 MHz may be assigned as a
common frequency to all licensees in a particular area to permit
intersystem communication between base stations or mobile stations or
both. This frequency, use will not be authorized in any area where all
available frequencies are required for independent systems.
(5) Frequencies in the 25-50 MHz, 150-170 MHz, 450-512 MHz and 902-
928 MHz bands may be assigned for the operation of Location and
Monitoring Service (LMS) systems in accordance with the provisions of
subpart M of this part, notwithstanding this limitation.
(6) A licensee of a radio station in this service may operate radio
units for the purpose of determining distance, direction, speed, or
position by means of a radiolocation device on any frequency available
for radiolocation purposes without specific authorization from the
Commission, provided type accepted equipment or equipment authorized
pursuant to Sec. 90.203(b)(4) and (5) is used and all other rule
requirements are satisfied.
