A
200 watts
B
560 watts
C
1000 watts
D
2250 watts
Answer Notes
A Basic Qualification with Honours grants the operator access to all amateur bands, including HF bands such as 40 metres (7055 kHz). However, it relies on the standard power limits set for Basic operators.
The maximum Peak Envelope Power (PEP) allowed for a Basic or Basic with Honours certificate holder transmitting an SSB signal is 560 watts. To legally use higher power, up to a maximum of 2250 watts PEP, the operator must obtain an Advanced certificate.
