Note Mexico is included in the North America regulatory domain; however, only channels 9 through 11 can be used in Mexico. Users are responsible for ensuring that the channel set configuration is in compliance with the regulatory standards of Mexico.


Maximum Power Levels and Antenna Gains

An improper combination of power level and antenna gain can result in equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) above the amount allowed per regulatory domain. Table D-2 indicates the maximum power levels and antenna gains allowed for each regulatory domain.
