Has Part 15 Grown?

July 13, 2010 by Carl Blare

Talking about Section Part 15 of The Rules, I suddenly notice Subparts F through H which are not seen on my old printed copy, so maybe new sections are being added.

15.1510 is interesting: “Through Wall Imaging Systems.”

Subpart H might offer something for hobby broadcasters: “TV Band Devices.”

    TV Band Devices
    Hi Carl:

    I just took a real quick look at Subpart H. It looks like these
    TV Band Devices are only for point to point communication,
    and they have to be intelligent enough to access an
    internet database and listen to the spectrum in order to
    protect what ever else may be on the channel. It seems
    to me that these TV Band Devices (TVBDs) then calculate
    on their own where to transmit.

    The regulations talk about protecting TV stations (HD and LPTV).
    They also talk about the protection of wireless mikes and auxiliary
    stations, which means to me that wireless mikes and auxiliary
    stations are not the same thing and operate under different rules.

    When the wireless mikes and auxiliary stations were mentioned,
    there was also mention of Part 74. I thought that those Part 74
    devices had already become Part 15 devices a couple of months ago.

    Remember all the speculation about a certain transmitter that would
    do FM on 87.5 and 87.7? I wonder if the rules for that unit are
    still the same?

    I’m not at all sure what this means. I just thought I would bring
    it up so we could all take a look at it.

    Best Wishes to all!

      OOOps!
      Looks like I missed the discussion of the possible
      outcome of the TV channel 5 and 6 spectrum.
      That subject was already brought up on this website
      on June 29th and how it might effect us has already
      been discussed.
      Best Wishes
