Note 1: Meteor scatter operation can take place up to 26kHz higher than the reference frequency.
Note 2: 12.5kHz channels numbered RV48-RV63. RV48 input = 145.000 MHz, output=145.600 MHz.
Note 3: 12.5kHz simplex channels numbered V16-V47.   V16=145.200 MHz.
Note 4: Emergency Communications Groups utilising this frequency should take steps to avoid interference to ISS operations
              in non-emergency situations.      
Note 5: Embedded data traffic is allowed with digital voice (DV)
Note 6: Simplex use only - no DV gateways
Note 7: not used  
Note 8: Amplitude Modulation (AM) is acceptable within the All Modes segment. AM usage is typically found on 144.550MHz.
              Users should consider adjacent channel activity when selecting operating frequencies
Note 9: In other countries IARU Region-1 recommend 145.375 MHz
Note 10: May be used for Emergency Communications and Community Events
Note 11: Ad-hoc Low power repeaters,  5W erp max 
Note 12: DV users are asked not to use this channel, and use 144.6125 MHz for calling.
Note 13:  not used  
Note 14: 144.800 use should be NBFM to avoid interference to 144.8125 DV Gateways
   
LICENCE NOTES: Amateur Service and Amateur Satellite Service - Primary User.

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.
