| RSGB Band Plan (effective from 1st January 2009) | ||||
| 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. | ||||
| 3.4 GHz (9cm) | UK Usage | |||
| IARU Recommendation | ||||
| 3,400.000-3,402.000 MHz | 3,400.100 MHz Centre of activity (Note 1) | |||
| Narrow band | ||||
| CW/EME/SSB | 3,400.750-3,400.800 MHz Local Beacons, 10W erp max | |||
| 3,400.800-3,400.995 | 3,400.800-3,400.995 MHz Propagation Beacons only | |||
| Propagation Beacons | ||||
| 3,401.000-3,402.000 MHz Remote control | ||||
| 3,402.000-3,410.000 | ||||
| All modes (Notes 2, 3) | ||||
| 3,410.000-3,475.000 | ||||
| All modes (Note 4) | 3,456.000 MHz (Note 1) | |||
| Note 1: EME has migrated from 3456 MHz to 3400 MHz promote harmonised usage and activity | ||||
| Note 2: Stations in many European countries have access to 3400-3410 MHz as permitted by ECA Table Footnote EU17 | ||||
| Note 3: Amateur Satellite downlinks planned | ||||
| Note 4: Parts of this range are subject to regulatory change. Contact the Microwave Manager for further information | ||||
| LICENCE NOTES: Amateur Service - Secondary User. | ||||
| Unattended operation is permitted for remote control, digital modes and beacons, except in the sub-bands | ||||
| 3,420-3,430 MHz and 3,450-3,455 MHz within 50 km of SO916223 (Cheltenham), SS206127 (Bude) and | ||||
| SE202577 (Harrogate). | ||||
| ISM = Industrial, scientific and medical | ||||
| 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. | ||||
