3. (c)Authorization to use single sideband emission is limited to emitting a carrier;
   1. (1)For full carrier transmitters at a power level between 3 and 6 dB below peak envelope power;
   2. (2)For suppressed carrier transmitters at a power level at least 40 dB below peak envelope power; and
   3. (3)For reduced or variable level carrier:
      1. (i)In the 1600-4000 kHz band:
         1. (A)For coast station transmitters 18±2 dB below peak envelope power;
