Idaho 2-Meter Band-Plan

If a band-plan is published by the frequency coordinating body, the simplex frequencies specified in the band-plan should be used for simplex operations.

If no published band-plan is available, this does not indicate that no band-plan exist. We just need to reference a repeater directory to determine the band-plan model that is implemented in order to determine what simplex frequencies are available. Looking at the spacing between channel allocations for coordinated repeaters to establish the channel spacing, and the repeater channel allocation to determine both a base frequency to establish the set of simplex frequencies and the frequencies that are available for simplex operation. 2-Meter simplex occupies the frequency segments between 146.400 to 146.599 MHz and from 147.400 to 147.599 MHz. This range is left as unallocated for repeater use, in part, because of the 600 kHz split between repeater transmitters and repeater receivers.

With 2-meter repeater allocations occurring on 20 kHz channel spacing, and projecting that channel spacing into the simplex portion of the FM band-plan, this would seem to indicate the following as viable simplex channels on 2-meters:


146.420 146.440 146.460 146.480 146.500 146.520 146.540 146.560 146.580
147.420 147.440 147.460 147.480 147.500 147.520 147.540 147.560 147.580

The 20-kHz channel spacing is optimized to accommodate a standard FM deviation that does not encroach on an adjacent channel and cause interference. Operation on frequencies between these channels will result in improper channel spacing and can cause interference. For example, operation on 146.430 will cause interference to both 146.420 and 146.440.


NOTE: The Idaho ARES Member Guidebook, which is available for download from the Resources menu, is not currently in compliance with the Idaho 2-meter Band-Plan. Work is being done to bring this document into compliance, and it can be expected that the frequencies listed in the guidebook that fall within the 147 MHz band segment will be changed to align with the Idaho 2-meter band plan.
