Note 3_Paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(10), (b)(11), and (b)(12) of this section
  apply to transmitters operating in the 72-76 MHz band that are

Note 4_If spurious or harmonic emissions result in harmful interference
  (any transmission, radiation or induction that endangers the
  functioning of a radionavigation or other safety service or seriously
  degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunication
  service operating in accordance with applicable laws, treaties and
  regulations), the FCC may, at its discretion, require appropriate
  technical changes in the station equipment to alleviate the
  interference, including the use of a low pass filter between the
  transmitter antenna terminals and the antenna feed line.

Note_At band edges, the tighter limit applies.

   (2) The emission limits shown in the above table are based on measurements
   employing a CISPR quasi-peak detector except that above 1 GHz, the limit is
   based on measurements employing an average detector. Measurements above 1
   GHz shall be performed using a minimum resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz. See
   also  Sec. 95.605.

   (3) The emissions from a MICS transmitter must be measured to at least the
   tenth harmonic of the highest fundamental frequency designed to be emitted
   by the transmitter.

   (4) Emissions within the MICS band (402–405 MHz) more than 150 kHz away from
   the center frequency of the spectrum the transmission is intended to occupy,
   will be attenuated below the transmitter output power by at least 20 dB.
   Compliance with this limit is based on the use of measurement
   instrumentation employing a peak detector function with an instrument
   resolution bandwidth approximately equal to 1.0 percent of the emission
   bandwidth of the device under measurement.

   (5) Emissions 250 kHz or less that are above and below the MICS band
   (402–405 MHz) will be attenuated below the maximum permitted output power by
   at least 20 dB. Compliance with this limit is based on the use of
   measurement instrumentation employing a peak detector function with an
   instrument resolution bandwidth approximately equal to 1.0 percent of the
   emission bandwidth of the device under measurement.

   (e) For transmitters designed to operate in the MURS, transmitters shall
   comply with the following:
