TITLE 47--TELECOMMUNICATION CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION PART 15--RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES Subpart C--Intentional Radiators Sec. 15.215 Additional provisions to the general radiated emission limitations. (a) The regulations in Secs. 15.217 through 15.255 provide alternatives to the general radiated emission limits for intentional radiators operating in specified frequency bands. Unless otherwise stated, there are no restrictions as to the types of operation permitted under these sections. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section V Pre-Operation Testing and Surveyinga. Prior to operating the FM frequency portion of this radio broadcast, a number of internal/external surveys and tests were performed by the owner. This was to insure a clear signal, which would not impose on the rights of both licensed commercial stations and listeners of the same. Section VI FCC Rules and Regulations Pertaining to this Operation a. A listing of the required rules under which Radioalma Radio operates is provided below. --------------------------------------------------------------[Code of Federal Regulations][Title 47, Volume 1][Revised as of October 1, 2001]From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access[CITE: 47CFR15.219] [Page 725] TITLE 47--TELECOMMUNICATION CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION PART 15--RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES--Table of Contents Subpart C--Intentional Radiators Sec. 15.219 Operation in the band 510-1705 kHz. (a) The total input power to the final radio frequency stage (exclusive of filament or heater power) shall not exceed 100 milliwatts. (b) The total length of the transmission line, antenna and ground lead (if used) shall not exceed 3 meters. (c) All emissions below 88 kHz or above 110 kHz shall be attenuated at least 20 dB below the level of the unmodulated carrier. Determination of compliance with the 20 dB attenuation specification may be based on measurements at the intentional radiator's antenna output terminal unless the intentional radiator uses a permanently attached antenna, in which case compliance shall be demonstrated by measuring the radiated emissions.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------b. To conform to applicable provisions of Part 15 of FCC Rules, operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
