<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>Actually, he CAN operate Part 15, but it is not as
simple as saying, "reduce your power to X milliwatts". Part 15.109B is a table
for intentional radiators which shows that in the range of 216-960 MHz he must
not exceed 210 microvolts per meter, measured at a distance of 10 meters. To
comply with this, he must factor in not only the power of the transmitter, but
loss of transmission line as well as gain of antenna for over all
ERP viewed as a complete system. The table in Part 15.205 restricts
operation to only spurious emissions in certain frequency ranges, but 2 meters
and 70 centimeters are not listed and therefore not restricted from Part
15. Quoting directly from the ARRL web site ....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#ff0000><FONT size=4 face=Arial>In the amateur 2-meter band,
for example, these regulations would permit an intentional radiator to run a
transmitter power of about 4 nanowatts into a half-wave dipole, resulting in a
field strength of 150 microvolts/meter at a point 3 meters away from the dipole
center. </FONT><FONT size=4 face=Arial>To relate this to receiver S unit
readings (50 uV at 50 ohms = S9 and an S unit = 6 dB), a 144-MHz field of 150
microvolts/meter would result in an S9 meter reading if 2.2 dBi gain antennas
were used on each end (half-wave dipoles in free space). Of course, this is only
3 meters from the source. If the source were located 30 meters away, the signal
would be about an S6. On 3.5 MHz, the permitted field strength is 30
microvolts/meter at 30 meters distance. A field of this strength would give an
S9+15 dB reading to a half-wave dipole on 80 meters.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

throw the Part 97 rules out the window and just declare you are now under part
15, whether or not you lower power and use less antenna.<BR>If people did that
we would have repeaters full of bootleggers saying they were “part 15” and
didn’t need no steenkin license. <BR> <BR>And his personal base
station has to abide some other rules as well, such as those concerning

ID Requirements<BR> <BR>Station identification is only required at the end
of each communication, and at least every 10 minutes during a
communication. Beaconing (IDing at intervals) is not required, but
probably not a bad idea. If it is for personal use only, you might want to
consider cutting the power and antenna to meet part 15 rather than part 97 and
you won't have to ID at all?<BR>==========</FONT></P></DIV>
