*Question G1C01:
[97.313(c)(1)] What is the maximum transmitter power an amateur station may use on 10.140 MHz?*  

*Correct Answer is  A: 200 watts PEP output*  

### AI Response: (may contain errors)  

On the 30-meter amateur radio band, which includes the frequency 10.140 MHz, there are specific power restrictions set by the FCC. According to FCC rule 97.313(c)(1), the maximum transmitter power allowed on this band is 200 watts PEP (Peak Envelope Power) output.

### Explanation:

1. **Correct Answer: 200 watts PEP output (Choice A)**
   - The 30-meter band (10.100 to 10.150 MHz) is a shared band with other services, and to minimize interference, the FCC limits the maximum power to 200 watts PEP. This is a specific regulation for this band.

2. **Why Other Choices Are Incorrect:**
   - **1000 watts PEP output (Choice B):** This exceeds the 200-watt limit for the 30-meter band. While 1000 watts is a common limit for other HF bands, it is not applicable here.
   - **1500 watts PEP output (Choice C):** This is the maximum power limit for most amateur bands, but not for the 30-meter band, where the limit is specifically 200 watts.
   - **2000 watts PEP output (Choice D):** This exceeds the maximum power limit for any amateur band, which is generally 1500 watts, and is certainly not allowed on the 30-meter band.

### Key Rule:
- **30-Meter Band Power Limit:** 200 watts PEP output

This specific power limitation is important to remember for the exam, as it is an exception to the general power limits on other amateur bands.
