Section 97.307(a) is the closest regulation we have pertaining occupied bandwidth in the American amateur service. However, some folks have argued that Sections 2.201 and 2.202 apply to the Part 97 service since Section 97.307(a) states: "No amateur station transmission shall occupy more bandwidth than necessary for the information rate and emission type being transmitted, in accordance with good amateur practice." Then, Section 2.202 defines "necessary bandwidth" and "occupied bandwidth" based on class of service. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2008/octqtr/47cfr2.201.htm http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2008/octqtr/47cfr2.202.htm Reading Sections 2.201-2.202 together, the FCC has already incorporated much of the ITU's bandwidth and emission designators from Appendix 1 of its bandwidth recommendations. http://life.itu.ch/radioclub/rr/ap01.htm To the best of my knowledge, the FCC has never formally relied upon Sections 2.201-2.202 when addressing bandwidth concerns in the Part 97 service.
