I see that the rules for HK have not been updated since 2014. Since I don't understand sections 2.2 and 2.3, is there any reason for limiting the output power other than that the information is outdated? > > If not, I propose the rules for HK be updated as follows [section 2.1(a) also requires that 5.15-5.35 GHz be restricted to indoor use]: Thanks for the proposed updates.

So here use 2400 - 2483.5 instead, etc. > (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (23), AUTO-BW, NO-OUTDOOR > (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (23), DFS, AUTO-BW, NO-OUTDOOR > (5490 - 5710 @ 160), (30), DFS This range actually extends to 5725 MHz. But since the subsequent range has looser restrictions, we can do what we've done with some other countries and extend the rule to 5730 MHz to allow use of channel 144. The document references the technical requirements from the FCC rules for 5150-5350 and 5470-5725 MHz, which requires TPC when the EIRP is over 500 mW. The 5250-5350 MHz rule should be okay, but the 5470-5725 MHz rule needs to have the max EIRP lowered to 500 mW (27 dBm).
