A PacketRadio FREQUENCY GUIDE FOR THE NEW PACKET OPERATOR:
This guide is for information purposes only, and is subject to change. Some changes in future band-plans may cause
changes in the application of certain Packet frequencies. A possible change in the 219.050 to 219.950 is one example of
Packet frequency changes. The 219 Mhz band is allocated for future trunks and backbone "only." Some frequencies are
used for specific Packet modes. Note that frequencies are in MHz:

Automatic Packet Reporting Systems (APRS), and as a
DXCluster or DX spotting network frequency.
