Sec. 95.639  Maximum transmitter power.

    (a) No GMRS transmitter, under any condition of modulation, shall
exceed:
    (1) 50 W Carrier power (average TP during one unmodulated RF cycle)
when transmitting emission type A1D, F1D, G1D, A3E, F3E or G3E.
    (2) 50 W peak envelope TP when transmitting emission type H1D, J1D,
R1D, H3E, J3E or R3E.
    (b) No R/C transmitter, under any condition of modulation, shall
exceed a carrier power or peak envelope TP (single-sideband only) of:
    (1) 4 W in the 26-27 MHz frequency band, except on channel frequency
27.255 MHz;
    (2) 25 W on channel frequency 27.255 MHz;
    (3) 0.75 W in the 72-76 MHz frequency band.
    (c) No CB transmitter, under any condition of modulation, shall
exceed:
    (1) 4 W Carrier power when transmitting emission type A1D or A3E;
    (2) 12 W peak envelope TP when transmitting emission type H1D, J1D,
R1D, H3E, J3E or R3E. Each CB transmitter which transmits emission type
H3E, J3E or R3E must automatically prevent the TP from exceeding 12 W
peak envelope TP or the manufacturer's rated peak envelope TP, whichever
is less.
    (d) No FRS unit, under any condition of modulation, shall exceed
0.500 W effective radiated power (ERP).
    (e) The maximum transmitter output power authorized for LPRS
stations is 100 mW.
