Indeed Fred......
The holder of an Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with Advanced Qualification is limited to a maximum transmitting power of:
- (a) where expressed as direct-current input power, 1,000 W to the anode or collector circuit of the transmitter stage that supplies radio frequency energy to the antenna; or
- (b) where expressed as radio frequency output power measured across an impedance-matchedload,
- (i) 2,250 W peak envelope power for transmitters that produce any type of single sideband emission, or
- (ii) 750 W carrier power for transmitters that produce any other type of emission.
But are U.S. Ops limited to 1000 watts PEP or input?
