The holder of an Amateur Radio Operator Certificate is limited to a maximum transmitting power.
10.1 Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with Basic Qualification
The holder of an Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with Basic Qualification is limited to a maximum transmitting power of:
- (a) where expressed as direct-current input power, 250 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-matched load,
- (i) 560 W peak envelope power for transmitters that produce any type of single sideband emission, or
- (ii) 190 W carrier power for transmitters that produce any other type of emission.
10.2 Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with Advanced Qualification
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-matched load,
- (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.
