Amateurs can not cause inference to and must accept interference from the Primary Government users. The NTIA says that hams planning to operate on 60 meters "must assure that their signal is transmitted on the channel center frequency." This means that amateurs should set their carrier frequency 1.5 kHz lower than the channel center frequency. General, Advanced and Amateur Extra classes: Channel Center Amateur Tuning Frequency 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 Amateurs may use USB *only* with a maximum effective radiated power (ERP) of 50 W. Radiated power must not exceed the equivalent of 50 W PEP transmitter output power into an antenna with a gain of 0 dBd. 40 Meters (7.0-7.3 MHz): 7.040 RTTY DX 7.080-7.100 RTTY 7.171 SSTV 7.290 AM calling frequency 30 Meters (10.1-10.15 MHz): 10.130-10.140 RTTY 10.140-10.150 Packet 20 Meters (14.0-14.35 MHz): 14.070-14.095 RTTY 14.095-14.0995 Packet 14.100 NCDXF Beacons 14.1005-14.112 Packet 14.230 SSTV 14.286 AM calling frequency 17 Meters (18.068-18.168 MHz): 18.100-18.105 RTTY 18.105-18.110 Packet 15 Meters (21.0-21.45 MHz): 21.070-21.100 RTTY 21.100-21.110 Packet 21.340 SSTV 12 Meters (24.89-24.99 MHz): 24.920-24.925 RTTY 24.925-24.930 Packet 10 Meters (28-29.7 MHz): 28.000-28.070 CW 28.070-28.150 RTTY 28.150-28.190 CW 28.200-28.300 Beacons 28.300-29.300 Phone 28.680 SSTV 29.000-29.200 AM 29.300-29.510 Satellite Downlinks 29.520-29.590 Repeater Inputs 29.600 FM Simplex 29.610-29.700 Repeater Outputs 6 Meters (50-54 MHz): 50.0-50.1 CW, beacons 50.060-50.080 beacon subband 50.1-50.3 SSB, CW 50.10-50.125 DX window 50.125 SSB calling 50.3-50.6 All modes 50.6-50.8 Nonvoice communications 50.62 Digital (packet) calling 50.8-51.0 Radio remote control (20-kHz channels) 51.0-51.1 Pacific DX window 51.12-51.48 Repeater inputs (19 channels) 51.12-51.18 Digital repeater inputs 51.62-51.98 Repeater outputs (19 channels) 51.62-51.68 Digital repeater outputs 52.0-52.48 Repeater inputs (except as noted; 23 channels) 52.02, 52.04 FM simplex 52.2 TEST PAIR (input) 52.5-52.98 Repeater output (except as noted; 23 channels) 52.525 Primary FM simplex 52.54 Secondary FM simplex 52.7 TEST PAIR (output) 53.0-53.48 Repeater inputs (except as noted; 19 channels) 53.0 Remote base FM simplex 53.02 Simplex 53.1, 53.2, 53.3, 53.4 Radio remote control 53.5-53.98 Repeater outputs (except as noted; 19 channels) 53.5, 53.6, 53.7, 53.8 Radio remote control 53.52, 53.9 Simplex 2 Meters (144-148 MHz): Also see "About 2 Meters" 144.00-144.05 EME (CW) 144.05-144.10 General CW and weak signals 144.10-144.20 EME and weak-signal SSB 144.200 National calling frequency 144.200-144.275 General SSB operation 144.275-144.300 Propagation beacons 144.30-144.50 New OSCAR subband 144.50-144.60 Linear translator inputs 144.60-144.90 FM repeater inputs 144.90-145.10 Weak signal and FM simplex (145.01,03,05,07,09 are widely used for packet) 145.10-145.20 Linear translator outputs 145.20-145.50 FM repeater outputs 145.50-145.80 Miscellaneous and experimental modes 145.80-146.00 OSCAR subband 146.01-146.37 Repeater inputs 146.40-146.58 Simplex 146.52 National Simplex Calling Frequency 146.61-146.97 Repeater outputs 147.00-147.39 Repeater outputs 147.42-147.57 Simplex 147.60-147.99 Repeater inputs Notes: The frequency 146.40 MHz is used in some areas as a repeater input.
