Sourced from the current legislation at https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2016C00432 The current rules exceed legal limits between 5250-5330MHz, and permit illegal operation in 5600-5650MHz (disallowed regardless of DFS). Frequency ranges and EIRP limits for all ranges have been updated to match items 59-63, 65 in the linked document. As the rules for AU have never previously mirrored local regulations, changes include a significant increase in the allowable 2.4GHz EIRP and smaller increases in most other bands. In order to allow 80MHz operation between 5650-5730MHz (bordering two bands) the lower, more restrictive band has been rounded up by 5MHz.

The mention of ETSI EN 300 328 in item 55 (a) leads me to believe that this is the limit we should be using, i.e. 500 mW. It is a bit confusing though since it seems like such devices would also fall under "digital modulation transmitters."

This looks correct.

Since this range requires TPC we need to set the power limit at 100 mW.

These ranges also require TPC so we need to set the limit at 500 mW.

In the document the ranges are 5650-5725 MHz and 5725-5850 MHz. I suspect that the existing rules fudge that to line up with the wifi channels, which technically is okay because the rules in the former range are more restrictive. I wonder if we shouldn't be recording them here as per the document and adding AUTO-BW. Johannes, any thoughts?

This looks correct. Thanks, Seth
