that is to say, channels 2 to 13.
16. No subscriber television system may utilize a frequency at power levels equal to or exceeding 10 microwatts within 10 kHz
plus tolerance of the emergency aircraft locator frequency 121.5 MHz.

28. For cabinet radiation, emissions at any frequency shall be at least 54 dB below the calculated field strength reference level.
29. The stereophonic sub-carrier at 38 KHz shall be suppressed to a level less than 10 %of the main carrier.
30. Departure of the carrier or center frequency of an FM station with an authorized power greater than 10 Watts may not
deviate more than 2000 Hz from the authorized carrier.
