Note 2: Minors are only allowed to operate amateur radio stations that operate in the 30-3000 MHz frequency band and have a maximum transmit power of not more than 25 watts.
- For those using radio transmitting equipment that has been approved according to relevant regulations, submit photos of the radio transmitting equipment (including the equipment model and approval code, factory serial number, etc.) along with the following information: (The date of manufacture or import of the radio transmitting equipment must be within the validity period of the radio transmitting equipment approval certificate); For those using homemade, modified, or assembled radio transmitting equipment that has not been approved according to relevant regulations, they must comply with national standards and national radio management regulations.
