|
|
Note 13: not used |
|
|
|
|
Note 14: 144.800 use should be NBFM

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. |
