Seems to me, only mobiles can transmit 50 watts.... Base stations, repeaters, etc are limited to 15W.

 

Dunno....  They do seem to emphasize the Mobile part...

Those are all pre-1989 definitions from back when you had to register location information with the commission. The rules need to be gone over with a fine toothed comb (most grandfathered licenses are renewed simply to keep them from laspsing but most have moved onto Part 90 systems). Most of what c and d reference has been removed from the current rules. From what I've heard talking to some Canadian friends, e no longer applies as they have adopted a similar power regulation on the band.
