US Amateur Band Plan
Where each licence class may transmit, band by band, with CW/data and phone segments.
Hover a bar for exact frequencies. Privileges from 47 CFR §97.301 (ITU Region 2), emission sub-bands from §97.305. Technicians also have full privileges on 6 m and every band above, including the 33 cm, 23 cm and microwave bands not drawn here. Always check the current rules and band edges before transmitting.
About this tool
Licence classes
New US licences are Technician, General and Amateur Extra. Advanced (and Novice) licences are no longer issued but remain valid and renewable, so they're shown too.
Phone and data segments
On HF, the lower part of each band is for CW and data (RTTY, FT8, PSK31…) and the upper part adds phone and image modes. CW is allowed everywhere in a band you're licensed for.
Stay inside the edges
Your whole signal must stay inside the segment, not just your dial frequency: on lower sideband, don't set the dial closer than about 3 kHz to the bottom edge of a phone segment.
