(From theNovember 2000 "Service Search" column byLarry Van Horn, MT Assistant Editor)
This month we are going to present the channelplan for the 220-222 MHz land mobile band. In 1988 the FCC reallocated220-222 MHz to the Private Mobile Radio Services from the 220-225 band used byAmateur Radio. The principle requester was United Parcel Service which neededradios for its business.
Since then the 220-222 MHz band has graduallydeveloped into spectrum devoted to narrowband voice (bandwidth less than 4 kHz).This band has 200 channel pairs; 60 pairs are for nationwide use and 140 pairsare for shared local use. Of the 60 nationwide pairs, 10 are for exclusivegovernment use and 50 are for exclusive non-government use. Of the 140 sharedlocal-use channel pairs, 100 are available for trunk or other operations ofequivalent or greater efficiency, 10 are available for public safety/mutual aid,20 are indefinitely reserved until further FCC action and not available forassignment, and the remaining 10 channel pairs have no restrictions on use.
Frequencies are assigned in pairs with basestation frequencies taken from the 220-221 MHz band, corresponding mobilefrequencies being 1-MHz higher, taken from the 221-222 MHz band.
