Croatian Regulatory Authority for Network Industries (HAKOM) has
updated the general licenses OD-85 and OD-86 with the new OD-85a
and OD-86a versions.

These introuduce the following changes:
* Outdoor usage for 5150-5250 and 5250-5350 MHz ranges is permitted
* 5150-5250 MHz range TPC requirment was dropped and power output raised to 200mW

OD-85a: https://www.hakom.hr/UserDocsImages/op%C4%87e%20dozvole%20prosinac%202009.g/Opca_dozvola_85a.pdf
OD-86a: https://www.hakom.hr/UserDocsImages/op%C4%87e%20dozvole%20prosinac%202009.g/Opca_dozvola_86a.pdf

Based on the translation I'm reading the 200 mW applied to elevations
from 5 degrees to 30 degrees, and for elevations above 30 degress the
limit is 125 mW. I'm not expeienced with regulations that vary with the
elevation angle. Why should we use 200 mW instead of 125 mW, which is
allowed for any elevation?

> +	(5250 - 5350 @ 80), (200 mW), DFS, AUTO-BW, wmmrule=ETSI

The translation of OD-86a I'm reading says "use mostly indoors." Is that
an accurate translation? How does this compare to the language from
OD-86? I'm a little unsure how to interpret it.

Thanks,
Seth

You can see in the OD-86a that now 1W (30 dBm) EIRP is the maximum
allowed power.
Then in usage conditions, they state that if median EIRP power larger
than 200mW (23 dBm) is used then the listed
angle and power limits should be used.
That is why I used 200mW as it has no limitations associated.

Yes, it's accurate.
In OD-86 this was strictly written as "exclusive use indoors", Hakom
even stated in their press release that the
changes to OD-86 now allow outdoor usage.
https://www.hakom.hr/default.aspx?id=10442
It's in English.

They are just trying to encourage the band to still be mostly used for
indoor stuff.

Robert

Right, but OD-86a applies to 5250-5350 MHz. I don't see this same
statement in OD-85a.

However, digging into it a little more, it looks like the elevation
restrictions come from WRC-19 resolution 229 [1], which has more detail.
Based on my reading of that it seems that the situation here actually is
similar to that for 5250-5350 MHz, i.e. that 200 mW is the general limit
but that operation at 1W is allowed subject to the stated elevation
angle restrictions. So it sounds like the 200 mW limit for 5150-5250 MHz
should be okay.

Great, thanks for clarifying.

I've applied the patch. Thanks!

OD-85a covers 5150-5250 MHz and power limits for it have not changed,
they remain the same as before.
I simply remove the no-outdoor limit as it was dropped.
