I did say dBm .....

A TX low pass filter is not shown- I assume that is in there - all harmonics need to be below -30dBm , (preferably -36dBm if it is going to connect to a vehicle antenna and run more than 5W)

You'll likely need TWO separate low pass filters for 2m/70cm operation.

We have more stringent requirements in the U.S.

    (d) For transmitters installed after January 1, 2003, the mean
    power of any spurious emission from a station transmitter or
    external RF power amplifier transmitting on a frequency below 30
    MHz must be at least 43 dB below the mean power of the fundamental
    emission. For transmitters installed on or before January 1, 2003,
    the mean power of any spurious emission from a station transmitter
    or external RF power amplifier transmitting on a frequency below
    30 MHz must not exceed 50 mW and must be at least 40 dB below the
    mean power of the fundamental emission. For a transmitter of mean
    power less than 5 W installed on or before January 1, 2003, the
    attenuation must be at least 30 dB. A transmitter built before
    April 15, 1977, or first marketed before January 1, 1978, is
    exempt from this requirement.

    (e) The mean power of any spurious emission from a station
    transmitter or external RF power amplifier transmitting on a
    frequency between 30–225 MHz must be at least 60 dB below the mean
    power of the fundamental. For a transmitter having a mean power of
    25 W or less, the mean power of any spurious emission supplied to
    the antenna transmission line must not exceed 25 µW and must be at
    least 40 dB below the mean power of the fundamental emission, but
    need not be reduced below the power of 10 µW. A transmitter built
    before April 15, 1977, or first marketed before January 1, 1978,
    is exempt from this requirement.

Most national spurious specifications are derived from this, I think:
