Suggested Band Plans for FT* modes:

FT-4 Recommended Sub-bands:

1.836-1.840

3.580-3.590

7.080-7.090

14.080-14.090

21.080-21.090

28.080-28.090

50.330 to 50.340

When choosing your operating frequency, set the radio dial at the bottom of the sub-band and QSO with stations on audio frequencies within the radio passband, typically 2.5-4 kHz wide. If a sub-band becomes crowded, move the radio dial frequency up in 2 kHz increments, as needed. (For example: 7.080, 7.082, 7.084, 7.086 and 7.088).

FT-8 Recommended Sub-bands:

1.840-1.844

3.590-3.600 (No Digital above 3600)

7.090-7.100

14.090-14.100

21.090-21.100

28.090-28.100

50.340 to 50.350

When choosing your operating frequency, set the radio dial at the bottom of the sub-band and QSO with stations on audio frequencies within the radio passband typically 2.5-4 kHz wide. If a sub-band becomes crowded, move the radio dial frequency up in 2 kHz increments, as needed. (For example: 7,090, 7.092, 7.094, 7.096 and 7.098).Â
