Short title and commencement (1) This notice may be cited as the Radiocommunications (Radio) Regulations (General Licence for Spread Spectrum Radio Apparatus) Notice 1999. (2) This notice comes into force on the 9th day of September 1999. 2. General licence A general licence under regulation 13 of the Radiocommunications (Radio) Regulations 1993 is granted for the installation, operation, and use of radio apparatus in accordance with the terms of this notice. 3. Terms, conditions and restrictions (1) This licence applies only to apparatus which complies with technical specification RFS 29 and in respect of which a declaration of conformity has been submitted to the Secretary under regulation 43 of the Radiocommunications (Radio) Regulations 1993. (2) The frequencies available for use under this licence are those specified in the First Schedule to this notice. (3) The maximum powers for transmission for available frequencies are those specified in the First Schedule to this notice. (4) The technical conditions applying under this licence are those specified in the Second Schedule to this notice. (5) Frequency use is on a shared basis and the Secretary does not accept liability under any circumstances for any loss or damage of any kind occasioned by the unavailability of frequencies or interference to reception. (6) Should interference occur the Secretary reserves the right to require that any apparatus licensed herein change frequency or cease operation. 4. Revocation of previous notices The Radiocommunications (General Licence for Spread Spectrum Radio Apparatus) Notice 1999 dated 2 February 1999 is hereby revoked. 5. Period of validity of Licence This licence expires on the 31st day of January 2004.

Emission Bandwidth: exceeding 0.5 MHz at 6dB* Spurious Emissions: must not exceed 60 dBV/m at 10 metres (-55 dBW e.i.r.p.) The maximum permissible peak power in any 3 kHz bandwidth within the occupied bandwidth is -15 dBW (measured with a spectrum analyser or test receiver with an IF bandwidth of 3 kHz and a video bandwidth of 100 kHz). Usage is restricted to automatic vehicle identification systems (AVIS). * Measured with a spectrum analyser or test receiver with an IF bandwidth of 30 kHz and a video bandwidth of 100 kHz. Measured with a spectrum analyser or test receiver with a video bandwidth of 100 kHz or 1 MHz as applicable, a span of 100 MHz and a sweep time of 1 second. Gain antennas can be used in all bands providing the transmitter power and antenna gain combined do not exceed the allowable effective isotropic radiated power (e.i.r.p.). Dated at Wellington on the 2nd day of September 1999. KATHARINE MOODY, Manager, Radio Spectrum Management, Ministry of Commerce. Explanatory Note This note is not part of the notice, but is intended to indicate its general effect.
