What precaution must an amateur radio operator take when transmitting near band edges?

  • Reduce transmitter power
  • Restrict operation to radiotelegraphy (CW) or digital modes
  • Correct Answer
    Ensure that the entire occupied bandwidth falls within the amateur radio band
  • Make sure that the emission mode is compatible with agreed band plans

Transmissions occupy a certain bandwidth on the radio spectrum, i.e., a range of frequencies around the operating frequency; how wide a chunk depends on the amount of information to be transmitted concurrently. For example, a commercial TV channel requires 6 megahertz of bandwidth. Here are a few Amateur modes: CW (Morse) = about 100 Hz, SSB = 2 to 3 kHz, FM (5 kHz deviation) = 10 to 20 kHz.
