22 Conditions – supplementary base station

(1) This section applies in relation to a supplementary base station that is part of a land mobile system. (2) A person must not operate a supplementary base station otherwise than on a transmit frequency specified in a land mobile licence (land mobile system station) for a base station. (3) A person must not operate a supplementary base station otherwise than to improve the reliability of reception of radiocommunications within the service area of a base station.

Note: The effect of this condition is that a supplementary base station cannot be used to extend the service area of a base station.

(4) In subsection (3), the service area of a base station is the area within 40 kilometres of the base station. (5) A person must not operate a supplementary base station that is located at a communal site, unless: (a) the level of each discrete spurious emission caused by the station is not greater than minus 30 dBm; and (b) the broad band noise floor of the station is not greater than minus 47 dBm in a 16 kHz bandwidth for frequency offsets greater than 300 kHz from the transmit frequency of the base station in the same land mobile system as the supplementary base station; when measured at the station’s connection to an antenna. (6) A person must not operate a supplementary base station if its operation causes harmful interference.
