Subelement T1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group T1B · 47 CFR §97.313
What is the maximum peak envelope power output for Technician class operators in their HF band segments?
- A.200 watts (correct answer)
- B.100 watts
- C.50 watts
- D.10 watts
WhyThe maximum peak envelope power output for Technician class operators in their HF band segments is 200 watts. §97.313 sets the general amateur power ceiling at 1500 watts PEP, but Technician licensees operating in their HF privileges (the 10-meter phone/CW/data segments) are limited further, to 200 watts PEP, answer A. The lower figures in B, C, and D understate what's actually allowed there.
