FM SUB-BAND NOTES
From
29.510 MHz to 29.700, The FM sub-band is usually channelized
into repeater and simplex frequencies. The channels are commonly
grouped into repeater inputs, simplex, and repeater output
frequencies.
Simplex
Channel, Worldwide calling FM: 29.600 MHz
Repeater
Operation on 10 Metres
Repeater
Input Channels: 29.520, 29.540, 29.560, and 29.580 MHz.
Repeater
Output Channels: 29.620, 29.640, 29.660, and 29.680 MHz.
Common
practice for 10 metre repeaters is to use a 100 kHz negative
offset for repeater operation. Due to the very few available
repeater channels, "odd-splits" (offsets differing from
100 kHz) and non-standard frequencies are not uncommon. Since
10 metres can frequently open up to propagate globally, most 10
metre repeaters use a CTCSS sub-audible access tone. 16 kHz
wide signals with 5 kHz deviation is normal in this band. 8 kHz
narrow signals with 2.5 kHz deviation can also be found.
Other
FM Simplex Channels in use
29.300 MHz
is a common frequency to find JA hams on. British hams commonly use
the 29.400 to 29.500 MHz band for FM as well with 29.400,
29.450, and 29.500 MHz being common.
USA
hams can be found on FM anywhere above 29.000 MHz, commonly on
the above frequencies talking to overseas hams. 29.200 to 29.300 MHz
is set aside in some area band plans for FM Simplex use.

10m band. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-meter_band
