[EAS] RMT question.

[Dave Kline]

What do you mean by "low power station"?
I run 8900 watts and by comparison to the big blast furnace, grandfathered, 115 KW, FM on the same tower, I can say I am low power.
But my station is a full service FM and therefore must comply with 11.32, the ENCODER rules.
If you are licensed as an LPxx or other listed below then you may not be required to relay anything.

So for starters it all depends on what you mean by "low power station"

§11.11(b) Analog class D non-commercial educational FM stations as defined in
§ 73.506 of this chapter, digital class D non-commercial educational FM
stations, analog LPFM stations as defined in § § 73.811 and 73.853
of this chapter, digital LPFM stations, analog LPTV stations as defined in
§74.701(f), and digital LPTV stations as defined in § 74.701(k) of
this chapter are not required to comply with §11.32.
