  • 2.300GHz - 2.310GHz
  • 2.390GHz - 2.450GHz
  • 3.300GHz - 3.500GHz

  • 241.000GHz - 250.000GHz
  • All frequencies above 275.000GHz

Notes

  1. Avoid interference to radiolocation operations between 1900 and 2000 kHz
  2. Novice and Technician Licenses must operate in CW mode only and transmit under 200 W PEP
  3. General, Advanced and Extra class licensees are allowed to operate on these five channels in USB (Upper sideband) phone mode only with a a maximum radiated power of 50 watts from a dipole antenna on a secondary basis. Occupied bandwidths are 2.8kHz across centered on 5332kHz, 5348kHz, 5368kHz, 5373kHz, 5405kHz, respectively.
  4. 4.0 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 Phone and Image modes are permitted between 7075kHz and 7100kHz for FCC licensed stations operating within ITU regions 1 and 3 and by FCC stations operating within ITU region 2 West of 120 degrees west or south of 20 degrees north. Novice and Technician licensees outside of ITU region 2 may use CW only between 7025 and 7075 kHz. These exemptions do not apply within the continental United States.
  5. 200 Watts max PEP, avoid interference with fixed services outside the US.
  6. 6.0 6.1 6.2 200 Watts max PEP
  7. 25 Watts max PEP
  8. 8.0 8.1 8.2 Certain geographical and power output limits exist above 420 MHz depending on the geographical position of the transmitter.
  9. 5 Watts max PEP
