§ 97.311   SS emission types.

   (a) SS emission transmissions by an amateur station are authorized only for
   communications between points within areas where the amateur service is
   regulated  by the FCC and between an area where the amateur service is
   regulated by the FCC and an amateur station in another country that permits
   such communications. SS emission transmissions must not be used for the
   purpose of obscuring the meaning of any communication.

   (b) A station transmitting SS emissions must not cause harmful interference
   to  stations employing other authorized emissions, and must accept all
   interference caused by stations employing other authorized emissions.

   (c) When deemed necessary by a Regional Director to assure compliance with
   this part, a station licensee must:

   (1) Cease SS emission transmissions;

   (2) Restrict SS emission transmissions to the extent instructed; and

   (3) Maintain a record, convertible to the original information (voice, text,
   image, etc.) of all spread spectrum communications transmitted.
