generally transmitted by digital to analog conversion to Freqlency Shift Keying
(FSK) or Phase Shift Keying (PSK). lRecommendation ITU-R F.1610 (2003)].

1 .4 Primary Service (PRl) - is a radio service wherein stations are entitled to

protection from harmful interference caused by any other radio frequency/spectrum
user that may be authorized to use the same radio frequency / spectrum on

harmful interference to stations of primary services to which frequencies are
already assigned or to which frequencies may be assigned at a later date; b)
cannot claim protection from harmful interference from stations of a primary service
to which frequ€.ncies are already assigned or may be assigned at a later date; and
c) can claim protection, however, from harmful interference from stations of the
same or other secondary service/s to which frequencies may be assigned at a later
date.

Section ll. FREQUENCY BAND ALLOCATION AND TYPES OF EMISSIONS BY
