Upon an express request from ARCOM, the license holder must provide, within one month of receiving the request, the effective technical description of the installation (including transmitter type and nominal power, antenna system, etc.) and the measured effective frequency excursion data showing the statistical percentage of exceedances above 75 kHz over at least 15 minutes.
If ARCOM finds that the technical conditions of the authorization are not being met, the license holder must arrange for an approved body to verify that the installation complies with the technical requirements in the authorization's technical annex and must transmit the verification results to ARCOM.
Radio Orient must comply with the technical conditions for FM radio frequency use set by Decision No. 87-23 of 6 March 1987, as amended by Decision No. 90-829 of 7 December 1990.
Any use of a subcarrier is prohibited unless ARCOM has granted prior authorization.
