Extra exam question E1A07
Subelement E1, COMMISSION RULES· Group E1A · 47 CFR §97.313(k)
E1A07 · §97.313(k)
What is the maximum power permitted on the 2200-meter band?
- A.50 watts PEP (peak envelope power)
- B.100 watts PEP (peak envelope power)
- C.1 watt EIRP (equivalent isotropic radiated power) (correct answer)
- D.5 watts EIRP (equivalent isotropic radiated power)
WhyThe maximum power permitted on the 2200 meter band is 1 watt EIRP, equivalent isotropic radiated power. §97.313(k) caps 2200-meter transmissions at 1 watt EIRP, equivalent isotropic radiated power, a figure that accounts for antenna gain as well as transmitter output, answer C. The other listed figures describe PEP limits used on other bands, and neither 50 nor 100 watts PEP nor 5 watts EIRP is the actual 2200-meter ceiling.
