Novice power restrictions on the bands

[W3EMT]

I am currently studying to upgrade to General and I was wondering if the novice power restrictions of 200W on the bands apply to all licenses or just Novice and Tech operators.

Novices and Techs are limited to 200 W PEP on the HF bands, but Generals, Advanceds and Extras have full power.

Note that there's a 200 W power limit on 30 meters and a 50 W power limit on 60 meters, but Novices and Techs aren't allowed on those bands.

In addition, Novices are allowed limited power on 220 and 33 cm.

"I am currently studying to upgrade to General and I was wondering if the novice power restrictions of 200W on the bands apply to all licenses or just Novice and Tech operators."  Didn't you answer your own question there?  Novice power restriction???  I am sure if you are using any kind of study material, it is covered there.

I just did a search of: ham radio output power.  The following was the first pick:

ARRLWeb: US Amateur Radio Frequency Allocations
Jan 31, 2008 ... ARRL -- The national association for Amateur Radio ... Unless otherwise noted, the maximum power output is 1500 watts PEP. ...
