What is the maximum transmitter power an amateur station may use on the 12-meter band?
50 watts PEP output
200 watts PEP output
1500 watts PEP output✓Correct answer
An effective radiated power equivalent to 100 watts from a half-wave dipole
Explanation
The 12 meter band carries no special power restriction, so the general Part 97 ceiling applies. The reduced limits in the power rule cover 30 meters, Novice and Technician HF segments, spread spectrum, VHF/UHF cases and the LF/MF bands, none of which touches 24.890-24.990 MHz.
