What is the maximum wattage for an external radio station before needing a license?

0.5 watts
1 watt
5 watts
10 watts

The correct answer is: 1 watt

The maximum wattage for an external radio station before needing a license is 1 watt. This regulation is set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States. Under the Part 15 rules, unlicensed low-power transmissions can occur as long as they do not exceed this wattage threshold. This limit allows individuals to operate small, personal radio transmitters without the burden of licensing fees or complex regulatory processes, making it easier for hobbyists and small broadcasters to share their content legally. Transmissions at or below 1 watt are meant to minimize interference with licensed services and ensure that the signals produced are short-range, primarily meant for local or personal use. It's important for users to be aware of these regulations to avoid potential fines or enforcement actions from the FCC due to unauthorized transmission.
