It is a bit confusing though since it seems like such devices would also fall under "digital modulation transmitters." > + (5150 - 5250 @ 80), (23), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW This looks correct. > + (5250 - 5350 @ 80), (23), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW, DFS Since this range requires TPC we need to set the power limit at 100 mW. > + (5470 - 5600 @ 80), (30), DFS > + (5650 - 5730 @ 80), (30), DFS These ranges also require TPC so we need to set the limit at 500 mW. > + (5730 - 5850 @ 80), (36) In the document the ranges are 5650-5725 MHz and 5725-5850 MHz. I suspect that the existing rules fudge that to line up with the wifi channels, which technically is okay because the rules in the former range are more restrictive. I wonder if we shouldn't be recording them here as per the document and adding AUTO-BW. Johannes, any thoughts? > + (57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (43), NO-OUTDOOR This looks correct. Thanks, Seth
