5  Interpretation
 (1) In this instrument, unless the contrary intention appears:
base station means a station that is, or incorporates, a radiocommunications transmitter:
 (a) operation of which is authorised by a PTS licence;
 (b) that is not a repeater station; and
 (c) unless the station is a registration exempt station – that is specified in the licence.

            Note: A PTS licence may authorise the operation of base stations that are not registration exempt stations, stations that are registration exempt stations, and repeater stations.
emission designator: see subsection (2).
licensed radiocommunications means radiocommunications of a radiocommunications transmitter operated as authorised by a licence.
occupied bandwidth, in relation to a radiocommunications transmitter, means the width of a frequency band having upper and lower limits that contain 99% of the true mean power of the transmitter's emission at any time.
PTS licence (PMTS Class B) means a PTS licence that authorises the operation of a land station for the purposes of PMTS Class B.
PTS licence (PMTS Class C) means a PTS licence that authorises the operation of a station for the purposes of PMTS Class C.
registration exempt station means a station:
 (a) that is, or incorporates, one or more radiocommunications transmitters (a relevant transmitter), operation of which is authorised by a PTS licence; and
 (b) is either:
              (i) a base station operated on a frequency specified in the licence for the operation of a radiocommunications transmitter that is, or is part of, another base station under the licence (the other base station); or
              (ii) a repeater station;
 (c) for which each relevant transmitter:
              (i) has a fixed indoor antenna; and
              (ii) is operated with a radiated true mean power not greater than 24 dBm EIRP per occupied bandwidth; and
              (iii) if the licence specifies an emission designator for emissions made by a radiocommunications transmitter that is, or is part of, the other base station – is operated in accordance with that emission designator; and
              (iv) if subparagraph (b)(i) applies – is not used to extend the coverage area within which radiocommunications made by the other base station may be received;
              (v) if subparagraph (b)(ii) applies – is not used to extend the coverage area within which radiocommunications made by a base station may be received.
repeater station means a station that is, or incorporates, a radiocommunications transmitter:
 (a) operation of which is authorised by a PTS licence; and
 (b) is used for the reception and automatic retransmission of radiocommunications.

            Note 1: A PTS licence may authorise the operation of:
(a) base stations and repeater stations (other than registration exempt stations), which are specified in the licence; and
               (b)     stations that are registration exempt stations, which may not be specified in the
