*Question G1C06:
[97.313] What is the limit for transmitter power on the 1.8 MHz band?*  

*Correct Answer is  D: 1500 watts PEP output*  

### AI Response: (may contain errors)  

On the 1.8 MHz band, the maximum transmitter power limit for amateur radio operators is 1500 watts PEP (Peak Envelope Power) output. This is the highest power level allowed by the FCC for most amateur bands, including the 1.8 MHz band, unless otherwise specified by specific regulations or restrictions.

1. **Correct Answer: 1500 watts PEP output (Choice D)**
   - The FCC regulations under Part 97.313 set the maximum power limit for most amateur bands, including the 1.8 MHz band, at 1500 watts PEP. This is the standard limit unless there are specific exceptions or restrictions for certain bands or modes.

2. **Why the Other Choices are Incorrect:**
   - **Choice A: 200 watts PEP output**  
     This is below the maximum limit. While some bands or modes may have lower power limits, the 1.8 MHz band allows up to 1500 watts PEP.
   - **Choice B: 1000 watts PEP output**  
     This is also below the maximum limit. Although 1000 watts is a common power level for many amateur stations, it is not the maximum allowed on the 1.8 MHz band.
   - **Choice C: 1200 watts PEP output**  
     This is closer to the maximum but still below the 1500 watts PEP limit. The 1.8 MHz band allows the full 1500 watts PEP.

3. **Useful Rule of Thumb:**
   - For most HF bands, including the 1.8 MHz band, remember that the maximum power limit is typically 1500 watts PEP unless specified otherwise by specific band plans or regional regulations. Always check for any specific restrictions that might apply to certain frequencies or modes.
