> The NTIA has allowed Amateurs Secondary status on five discreet
> frequencies in an interesting part of the 5MHz land-mobile band.
> These "channels" put us in a terrific place to (when the need
> arises) intercommunicate with certain services like the National
> Guard, Red Cross, etc. There are strict ERP power, mode and
> frequency limits for us on these frequencies. For example, no
> Morse Code/digital is allowed and -ONLY- USB voice emissions are
> permitted. Power is limited to 50w ERP referencing a 1/2wave
> dipole antenna. If you look at the assigned frequency list, you
> will probably see the center of the channel assignment. This is
> the wackiest and hardest for most to grasp.
> If using USB, you need to tune the carrier insertion 1.5kHz lower
> than center, so all your emissions will fall inside the 2.8kHz
> assignment.
>
> Here are the assignments and where to tune for USB operation:
> Channel Center Amateur USB freq
> 5332 kHz 5330.5 kHz
> 5348 kHz 5346.5 kHz
> 5368 kHz 5366.5 kHz
> 5373 kHz 5371.5 kHz
> 5405 kHz (common US/UK) 5403.5 kHz
>
> As secondary users of the spectrum, we must yield to Military
> or other primary users. If you hear tactical callsigns or
> digital-sounding signals, try and be a good new neighbor!
> Many radios are capable of operation on 5167KHz, the Alaska
> emergency frequency. Our ICOM 706Mk2G's and the 756
> converted nicely. One thing I'd caution you on is, try
> low-power tests first to a dummy load. If the TX filters
> cut 5MHz off, you may get little to no power out. High-power
> TX will likely damage output devices in that case!
