NZART Council at their 15th February 2014 meeting approved the 70 cm Band Plan reccomended by the Review Committee. The plan is reproduced below.
(Updated 16th December 2016 with respect to the two calling frequency spot names at 432.1 and 432.2.)
430.000 to 431.900 Repeater links (Possible sharing in future) 431.900 to 432.000 Guard Band EME 432.000 to 432.100 EME 432.100 to 432.600 Narrow Band modes (BW 6 kHz or less) 432.100 External Calling Frequency 432.200 Internal Calling Frequency 432.250 to 432.300 Beacons (horizontal polarisation) 432.300 to 432.400 Spare 432.400 to 432.600 Guard Band Australian Beacons 432.575 APRS (current) (note 2) 432.600 to 432.800 FM Digital modes (5 kHz or less deviation) 432.650 Packet digipeaters 432.675 Secondary packet digipeaters 432.700 VOIP Simplex 432.725 VOIP Simplex Secondary 432.750 P25/Dstar/DMR Simplex 432.775 APRS (note 2) 432.800 to 432.975 FM Simplex (5 kHz or less deviation) 433.000 to 434.795 Repeater Inputs/Outputs (note 1) 434.800 to 435.000 National System Repeaters (note 1) 435.000 to 438.000 Amateur Satellite Operations 438.000 to 439.800 Repeater Inputs/Outputs (note 1) 439.800 to 440.000 National System Repeaters (note 1)
Note 1: Repeaters in this band are normally negative 5 MHz offset but where there are problems with SRD/LIPD devices on the repeater input a suitable positive offset repeater frequency pair can be obtained from FMTAG. (reference the FMTAG paper “The Impact on 70cm Repeaters of the General User Radio License (GURL) for Short Range Devices (SRD)” issue 2 which may found at http://www.nzart.org.nz/nzart/fmtag/srd-impact-on-repeaters/)
Note 2: It is envisaged that APRS will need to migrate over time from 432.575 MHz to 432.775 MHz. The continued use long term of 432.575 MHz would clash with the Australian Beacon allocation.
