4. Other information:

• Generally we use higher Tx in the repeater. (Base.Tx > Base.Rx)

• There is a nationwide radio system in the 452.500-457.380 / 462.500-467.380 MHz band.

Frequency assignment from this band is NOT possible.

• In the frequency ranges 457.38 - 460.00 / 467.38 - 470.00 MHz there are already permanent networks in use. For this reason there can be only few licences issued for occasional events in this band.

We suggest for the reasons above to the contributors to apply for RF licences in the following frequency ranges:

146 – 154 MHz;

154 – 156 MHz*

156.875 –167.3 MHz;

167.3 – 174 MHz*                            (not available: 171.825 MHz, 171.850 MHz, 171.900 MHz)

410 – 417 MHz*

417 – 420 MHz;

420 – 427 MHz*

427 – 430 MHz;

440 – 442 MHz*

442 – 445 MHz;

445 – 447 MHz*

447 – 450 MHz;

450 – 452.5 MHz;

457.38 – 460.00 MHz

460 – 462.5 MHz

467.38 – 470.00 MHz

  * additional coordination required, increases licensing time.
