In Australia, the maximum allowed transmit power depends on the class of license you hold (and technically speaking, the transmission mode).
For FM and other constant-carrier modes:
Foundation license: 10W
Standard license: 30W
Advanced license: 100W

Oops. You're right... Typo by me... 120W by Advanced.VK6ZMS wrote:For FM
Foundation 3 watts
Standard 30 watts
Advanced 120 watts
They fixed the accidental 3W limit for Foundation to make it 10W for FM.

Yeah the letter of the law vs the spirit of the law I reckon... No foundie will get busted for using 10W in the mean timeVK6ZMS wrote:ACMA said yes to 10 watts for FM Foundation .... but it's not in the LCD yet so it's still 3 watts.
See page 18 of the LCD.
The new LCD is taking forever to be made official.
