Sec.  22.725   Channels for conventional rural radiotelephone stations.

   

   Link to an amendment published at  70 FR 19309 , Apr. 13, 2005.

   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.
