RSGB Band Plan January 2024

RSGB Band Plan (effective from 1st January 2024) The following band plan is largely based on that agreed at IARU Region 1 General Conferences with some local differences on on frequencies above 430 MHz. 10 GHz (3cm) Necessary UK Usage IARU Recommendation Bandwidth 10,000.000-10,125.000 MHz Note-4 All modes 10,065 MHz ATV Repeater Outputs 10,225.000-10,250.000 All modes 10,240 MHz ATV Repeaters 10,250.000-10,350.000 Digital modes 10,350.000-10,368.000 10,352.5-10,368 MHz Wideband modes (Note-2) All modes 10,368.000-10,370.000 2.7 kHz 10,368-10,370 MHz Narrowband modes (Note-3) Narrowband telegraphy 10,368.1 MHz Centre of activity EME/SSB 10,368.750-10,368.800 MHz Local Beacons, 10W erp max 10,368.800-10,368.995 10,368.800-10,368.995 MHz Propagation Beacons only Propagation Beacons 10,370.000-10,450.000 10,371 MHz Voice repeaters RX All modes 10,425 MHz ATV Repeaters 10,450.000-10,475.000 10,400-10,475 MHz Unattended operation All modes and satellites 10,450-10,452 MHz Alternative narrowband segment (Note-3) 10,471 MHz Voice repeaters TX 10,475.000-10,500.000 All modes and satellites Amateur Satellite Service ONLY (Note-5) Note 1: Deleted Note 2: Wideband FM is preferred between 10,350-10,400 MHz to encourage compatibility with narrowband systems Note 3: 10450 MHz is used as an alternative narrowband segment in countries where 10,368 MHz is not available Note 4: 10,000-10,125 MHz is subject to increased Primary User utilisation and restrictions Note 5: 10,475-10,500 MHz is allocated ONLY to the Amateur Satellite Service and NOT to the Amateur Service. LICENCE NOTES : Amateur Service - Secondary User. Foundation Licensees 1W max Amateur Satellite Service: 10,450-10,500 MHz - Secondary User. Note specific conditions apply within 50 km of SO916223 (Cheltenham), SS206127 (Bude), SK985640 (Waddington) and SE202577 (Harrogate). Notes to the Band Plan ITU-R Recommendation SM.328 (extract) Necessary bandwidth : For a given class of emission, the width of the frequency band which is just sufficient to ensure the transmission of information at the rate and with the quality required under specified conditions. The use of Amplitude Modulation (AM) is acceptable in the all modes segments but users are asked to consider adjacent channel activity when selecting operating frequencies. Foundation and Intermediate Licence holders are advised to check their licences for the permitted power limits and conditions applicable to their class of licence.
