8 Conditions – use of 29 MHz band or 36 MHz band, and EIRP range
Use of 29 MHz band or 36 MHz band (1) A person must not operate a radiocommunications device otherwise than on a frequency in the 29 MHz band or the 36 MHz band. (2) A person must not operate a radiocommunications device in the 36 MHz band to control a model landcraft. (3) A person must not operate a radiocommunications device in the 36 MHz band otherwise than on a frequency worked out using: (a) if the device is used to control a model vessel – the formula in subsection (4); (b) if the device is used to control a model aircraft – either the formula in subsection (4) or the formula in subsection (5). (4) For the purposes of paragraphs (3)(a) and (b), the formula is: 35.99 + n(0.02) MHz where “n” is a whole number between one and 30 (both inclusive). (5) For the purposes of paragraph (3)(b), the formula is: 36 + n(0.02) MHz where “n” is a whole number between one and 29 (both inclusive). EIRP range (6) A person must not operate a radiocommunications device otherwise than with an EIRP that is: (a) greater than 300 mW; and (b) equal to or less than 1 W.
