               6.7.5.4 Attenuation indicator

               The attenuation indicator shall have a minimum range of 80 dB and a reading resolution of 1 dB.

               6.7.5.5 RMS value indicator

               The instrument shall accurately indicate non-sinusoidal signals in a ratio of up to 10:1 between peak value and RMS value.

               6.7.5.6 Oscillator and amplifier

               The oscillator and amplifier shall be designed in such a way that the measurement of the adjacent channel power of a low-noise unmodulated transmitter, whose self-noise has a negligible influence on the measurement result, yields a measured value of ≤ –90 dB referred to the carrier of the oscillator.

       23  AS/NZS 4583

         In this Schedule, AS/NZS 4583 means AS/NZS 4583:2016 'Amplitude modulated equipment for use in the aeronautical radio service in the frequency range 118 MHz to 137 MHz', published by Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand.

            Note: AS/NZS 4583 may be obtained, for a fee, from a Standards Australia distributor listed on the Standards Australia website at www.standards.org.au. AS/NZS 4583 is also available to be viewed, on prior request, at an ACMA office, subject to licensing conditions.

       24  ETSI EN 300 676-1

         In this Schedule, ETSI EN 300 676-1 means ETSI EN 300 676-1 V1.5.2 (2011-03) 'Ground-based VHF hand-held, mobile and fixed radio transmitters, receivers and transceivers for the VHF aeronautical mobile service using amplitude modulation; Part 1: Technical characteristics and methods of measurement', published by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute.

       25  Additional definitions for 118 MHz to 137 MHz Amplitude Modulated Equipment – Aeronautical Radio Service Standard

         In this Schedule:

       aeronautical AM equipment means amplitude modulated equipment used in the aeronautical radio service in the 118 MHz to 137 MHz frequency band.

       aeronautical radio service means a service for radiocommunications between:
           (a) 2 or more aeronautical stations; or
           (b) an aeronautical station and an aircraft station; or
           (c) 2 or more aircraft stations.

            ground mobile equipment means equipment that is both:
           (a) a mobile station; and
           (b) designed or intended to be operated on the ground.

            handheld radio equipment means equipment that:
           (a) is designed or intended to be both:
              (i) handheld; and
              (ii) operated on the ground; and
           (b) has an integral battery.

            Note: At the time this clause commenced, a number of expressions used in this Part were defined in the Radiocommunications (Interpretation) Determination 2015, including:
               (a) aeronautical station;
               (b) aircraft station;
               (c) mobile station.

       26  Modification of AS/NZS 4583 and ETSI EN 300 676-1

        (1) This clause modifies AS/NZS 4583 and ETSI EN 300 676-1 for the purposes of
