  § 80.205   Bandwidths.

   (a) An emission designator shows the necessary bandwidth for each class of
   emission  of a station except that in ship earth stations it shows the
   occupied or necessary bandwidth, whichever is greater. The following table
   gives  the class of emission and corresponding emission designator and
   authorized bandwidth:

   ^11Transmitters approved prior to December 31, 1969, for emission H3E, J3E
   and R3E and an authorized bandwidth of 3.5 kHz may continue to be operated.
   These transmitters will not be authorized in new installations.

   156-162 MHz band.

   ^13[Reserved]

   ^14The information is contained in multiple very low level subcarriers.

   (b) For land stations the maximum authorized frequency deviation for F3E or
   G3E emission is as follows:

   (1) 5 kHz in the 72.0-73.0 MHz, 75.4-76.0 MHz and 156-162 MHz bands;

   (2) 15 kHz for stations which were authorized for operation before December
   1, 1961, in the 73.0-74.6 MHz band.
