Technician License Course Chapter 7 Lesson Module 16: Licensing Regulations: Bands and Privileges What can you do with a Technician Class License? Power limits. Always use the minimum power required to get the job done. Up to 1500 watts peak envelope power (PEP). Will generally require an external amplifier to achieve these power levels. Some special cases where power is restricted. Some bands or portions of bands. What can you do with a Technician Class License? Frequency Privileges: Band versus frequency. What can you do with a Technician Class License? Emission Privileges: Primary and Secondary Allocations Some authorized amateur frequencies are shared. Primary Users. Secondary Users cannot interfere with Primary Users, and must accept interference from Primary Users. Frequency Coordination Repeaters usually require coordination to prevent mutual interference. Coordinated repeaters may have a preference in frequency disputes between repeaters. Local Amateurs may form Repeater Coordination bodies, that help make sure that interference is minimized.

CW and SSB What must you do if you are operating on the 23 cm band and learn that you are interfering with a radiolocation station outside of the United States? (T1C05) A. Stop operating or take steps to eliminate the harmful interference B. Nothing because the band is allocated exclusively to the amateur service C. Establish contact with the radiolocation station and ask them to change frequency D. Change to CW mode, because this would not likely cause interference What must you do if you are operating on the 23 cm band and learn that you are interfering with a radiolocation station outside of the United States?
