Users with sites that allow propagation to other countries (notably France and the Netherlands) must survey the proposed frequency before use to ensure that they will not cause interference to users in those countries. Note 8: All Internet voice gateways: 12.5kHz channels, maximum deviation +-2.4kHz, maximum erp 5W (7 dBW), Note 9: Coordinated usage includes - Low-power Lora 125kHz Max BW at 439.9125 MHz, POCSAG Pagers at 439.9875MHz Note 10: May be used for Emergency Communications and Community Events Note 11: IARU Region 1 recommended maximum bandwidths are 12kHz to support 12.5kHz channel spacing Note 12: Embedded data traffic is allowed with digital voice (DV) Note 13: Simplex use only - no DV gateways Note 14: QPSK 2 Mega-symbols/second maximum recommended LICENCE NOTES: Amateur Service: Secondary User. Amateur Satellite Service : 435-438MHz: Secondary User Note specific conditions within 430-440MHz Exclusion: 431-432 MHz not available within 100km radius of Charing Cross, London. Power Restriction: 430-432 MHz is 40W erp maximum Note 1: UK Repeaters in this band are based on 1.6, 5.0, 7.6 and 9MHz frequency splits and 12kHz BW to support 12.5kHz spacing. European systems may be different or reverse of our splits - See RSGB and ETCC websites for further information.
