This may be an incredibly stupid question, but I would like to ask any ways. I hope any further posts of mine will prove im not an idiot, just new to Ham. I have been working in the RF field for 3 years now, (mostly FSK and OFDM radios.) Any who on to the question,
Lets say I have an Fm tranmitter that is more powerful than the FCC allows in the unlicensed band, and i want to transmit at its full potential. If I acquire a Ham Lic will I be able to? Below are the specs of the transmitter and then the rules from the FCC in regards to unlicensed Fm transmitters.
Thanks In advance!
---Transmitter:
Frequency range: 87 ~ 109Mhz
Frequency Step value: 0.1MHz
Frequency stabilization way: PLL
Frequency stability: ± 10 ppm (-10 ° C +60 ° C )
Frequency Modulation: ≤ ± 75kHz (100%)
Work methods: continuous work
Clutter and Harmonic: less than-60dB
SNR: ≥ 60dB
Stereo separation:-50dB
Audio frequency response: 20 to 15000Hz
Audio distortion: <2%
Modulation: 15%
Input Level:-15dBV
RF output impedance: 50 Ohm
Unit dimensions: length of 105mm, 65mm width, and height of 27mm
---FCC Guidelines
Unlicensed operation on the AM and FM radio broadcast bands is permitted for some extremely low powered devices covered under Part 15 of the FCC rules. On the FM broadcast band, these devices are limited to an approximate effective service range of 35-100 feet. The Maximum Effective Radiated Power (ERP) is .01 microwatts. The rule actually specifies a limit of 250 micro-volts per meter at 3 meters. See Part 15.209 and 15.239. These devices must accept any interference caused by any other operation, which may further limit the effective service range.
