Sec.  22.725   Channels for conventional rural radiotelephone stations and basic
exchange telephone radio systems.

   The following channels are allocated for paired assignment to transmitters
   that provide conventional rural radiotelephone service and to transmitters
   in basic exchange telephone radio systems. 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.
