What is the limit for transmitter power on the 28 MHz band for a General Class control operator?
- A.100 watts PEP output
- B.1000 watts PEP output
- C.1500 watts PEP output (correct answer)
- D.2000 watts PEP output
WhyThe 10-meter band carries the standard 1500 watts PEP output limit for a General class control operator. 10 meters carries the standard 1500 watts PEP output limit under §97.313, the same ceiling that applies to most non-WARC HF bands, answer C. 100 and 1000 watts in A and B fall short of what's actually permitted, and 2000 watts in D exceeds it.
