|
|
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
Note
2: 430-440 MHz FM/DV maximum bandwidths are 12.5 or 25
kHz as appropriate |
|
|
Note 3: Digital Experiments
include adhoc new and/or wider bandwidth modes such as Lora etc - also see
Note 9 re 439.9MHz |
|
|
Note
4: Hot Spots - 438.775 and 438.7875 MHz are also options
if preferred channels above are not available |
|
|
Note
5: In other countries IARU Region-1 recommend 433.450
MHz for DV calling |
|
|
Note
7: Users must accept interference from repeater output
channels in France and the Netherlands at 430.025-430.575 MHz. |
|
|
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 |

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. |
