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.
