  Radio Regulations - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Radio Regulations is an intergovernmental treaty text of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the Geneva based specialised agency of the United Nations which coordinates and standardises the operation of telecommunication networks and services and advances the development of communications technology.
The drafting, revision and adoption of the Radio Regulations is the responsibility of the World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRCs) of the ITU, meetings of which are typically held every three or four years.
The 2004 edition contains the complete texts of the Radio Regulations as adopted and revised by the 2003 WRC including all articles, appendices, resolutions, and a subset of the recommendations issued by ITU-R (previously known as the CCIR) (those "recommendations" which have a mandatory nature, as a result of being cited in the Radio Regulations).

  Amateur radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In fact, amateur radio's role in public service and international relations is such an integral part of the hobby that the United States Federal Communications Commission has gone so far as to codify some of these items in its amateur radio regulations.
Amateur radio operators who are doctors, engineers, educators, lawyers, entertainers, electricians, farmers, bankers, and government employees (to name a few) have frequently found practical on-the-job applicability to ideas learned through the study of electronics and communications in amateur radio.
The propagation of radio waves at these frequencies, especially during anomalous conditions, is poorly understood, and amateurs lead the way in learning about these, although high absorption of water and oxygen molecules in this region of the electromagnetic spectrum often limits practical uses to kilometres or tens of kilometres.

 Regulations For Radio Apparatus and Operators on Steamers: July 1, 1913
Radio inspectors are authorized to communicate directly in their respective districts with collectors of customs, and to cooperate with them in the enforcement of the laws.
Radio inspectors and customs officers may, however, accept as evidence of the efficiency of the apparatus and the skill of an operator messages shown to have been transmitted and received by him over a distance of at least 100 miles, by day, during the voyage to the United States.
When the radio apparatus is certified as complying with the requirements of law by the competent authorities of a foreign Government, such certificate will be recognized by this Department, but the radio inspector or customs officer may, if he deem it necessary or desirable, satisfy himself that the apparatus is in good working order.

 Regulations Governing Radio Communication: February 20, 1913
The attention of all owners and operators of apparatus for radio communication is invited to the act of August 13, 1912, to regulate radio communication and to the following regulations to carry out that act and the International Radiotelegraphic Convention, proclaimed by the President of the United States.
The principal purpose of the regulation of radio communication, international and national, is to secure the greatest efficiency of maritime communication through this agency, especially as a means of promoting safety to life.
The radio inspector will then issue the department's blank form of application for license to be filled in by the applicant and returned to the radio inspector with a statement when the ship will be in port and its radio apparatus may be thoroughly inspected.

 WRC-95, An IAU Perspective
Radio astronomy shares this spectrum with many other radiocommunication services that are regarded as essentially for everyday living, and for the purpose of frequency regulation is treated as a radio-communication service.
Some of the preliminary proposals under consideration by countries will affect radio astronomy, and I am sending around this message in the hope that IAU members may be able to influence the radiocommunication representatives of their countries and minimise the damage to radio astronomy.
For radio astronomy bands near these allocations, this increases the possibility of interference from aeronautical transmitters associated with this service - even though planes may be transmitting upwards to satellites, because of the poor directivity of the antennas, some of the signals will reach the ground and may interfere with radio astronomy observations.

U.S. vessels required to carry a VHF marine radio, such as commercial fishing vessels, must maintain a watch on channel 16 (156.800 MHz) while underway whenever the radio is not being used for exchanging communications.
A radio is not to be used for gossip or idle conversation.
All vessels equipped with VHF radios must keep their radios tuned to channel 16 so they can assist if an emergency is near.

The laws and regulations condinate the use of radio frequencies (frequencies, transmitting power etc.) and define the needed permission to use transmitters/receivers.Intentionally interfering with legitimate radiocommunications is illegal in virtually all countries.
The function of the radio receiver is to recover the audio signal that was modulated onto the RF carrier at the radio station, and apply it to the speaker, reproducing the sounds of the announcer.
In trunked radio system every radio on the system 'listens' on a control channel, that is a data transmission giving the radios all their instructions.When a call is received, or made, the controlling data transmission tells the radios who wish to speak to each other which channel they need to switch to.

Throughout the Radio Regulations power flux density (p.f.d), either at the Earth's surface or at some geographic boundary or test point, is used extensively as either an interference limit or a co-ordination threshold (or trigger) level.
Elsewhere in the Radio Regulations e.r.p limits are specified to limit the interference from broadcasting to aeronautical services and peak e.i.r.p.

 FCC reassessing media ownership rules / Critics say current regulations inspire bland homogeneity
As the Federal Communications Commission reviews its rules on media ownership, several studies released Monday say the current regulations breed bland music offerings on the radio, an environment where few women and minorities are in positions of power and news coverage that ignores issues people of color care about.
According to FCC data, of the 12,844 radio and television stations that filed the correct reports, women owned 3.4 percent and minorities 3.6 percent of the outlets.
In radio, the airwaves have been homogenizing since the 1996 lifting of a ban on the number of radio stations one company could own nationally, said Peter DiCola, a University of Michigan researcher who submitted a radio study to the FCC Monday.

 WRC-97 and the Passive Spectrum Users: Protecting the Radio Windows to the Universe
For astronomers the radio spectrum is one of only two spectral windows available to observe the universe with ground-based receiving instruments, the other being the optical window.
Use of the radio spectrum is primarily regulated by the Radiocommunication Sector of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R), part of the United Nations.
After extensive discussions with the radio astronomers and several administrations, the GLONASS system is presently being modified to eliminate unwanted emissions in the radio astronomy band and also to make spectrum available for MSS operators in the 1610-1626.5 MHz band.

One of the reasons is that amateur radio equipment is capable of having the transmit frequency changed from the "front panel" by simply "dialing up" the frequency.
One of the reasons that the FCC comes down VERY hard on amateur radio operators who violate the law by using non "certified" radios is because when you sign your license application you certify that you understand and will obey all FCC regulations that concern the amateur radio service and other services as well.
Part 97 are the regulations that concern the Amateur Radio Service and you ARE required to have a copy of this either on your computer or as a "hard" copy so that you can immediately reference the regulations.
