  2. Novice and Technician Licenses must operate in CW mode only and transmit under 200 W PEP
  3. General, Advanced and Extra class licensees are allowed to operate on these five channels in USB (Upper sideband) phone mode only with a a maximum radiated power of 50 watts from a dipole antenna on a secondary basis. Occupied bandwidths are 2.8kHz across centered on 5332kHz, 5348kHz, 5368kHz, 5373kHz, 5405kHz, respectively.
