Sec. 22.725  Channels for conventional rural radiotelephone stations.

    The following channels are allocated for paired assignment to 
transmitters that provide conventional rural radiotelephone service. 
These channels may be assigned for use by central office or rural 
subscriber stations as indicated, and interoffice stations. These 
channels may be assigned also for use by relay stations in systems where 
it would be impractical to provide rural radiotelephone service without 
the use of relay stations. All channels have a bandwidth of 20 kHz and 
are designated by their center frequencies in MegaHertz.
