Grex Radio Item 64: 70cm
Entered by ball on Fri Jan 12 04:22:12 UTC 2007:

Is there a bandplan for 70cm?  Do US amateurs follow the
ARRL one?  Is there regional variation?

Yes, the "Gentleman's Agreement" is to follow the ARRL bandplan.

There is a restriction put in place to certain areas along the US
Canada border.  You can see those details in the ARRL Repeater
Directory.

I just tried to find some info really quick, but couldn't.  I'll
post more later, after I get my repeater guide.

Congrats!  I hope it works well for you.  Is the battery life
okay?

It will be hard to gauge that until I find someone
to talk to on 70cm. ;-)
