Or more succinctly:
^ 2m | 146.415 -- 146.595 | Δ = 15 kHz |
^ ::: | 147.420 -- 147.570 | Δ = 30 kHz |
^ 70cm | 446.000 -- 446.175 | Δ = 25 kHz |
===== Digital =====
Note that on 2m, there are digital channels interwoven between some of the FM channels:
|< 100% 13% 55% 32% >|
^ 2m digital |147.435, 147.465, 147.495, 147.525, 147.555, 147.585 |30 kHz between each channel. |
