§ 90.715 Frequencies available.
(a) The following table indicates the channel designations of frequencies
available for assignment to eligible applicants under this subpart.
Frequencies shall be assigned in pairs, with base station frequencies taken
from the 220-221 MHz band with corresponding mobile and control station
frequencies being 1 MHz higher and taken from the 221-222 MHz band. Only the
lower half of the frequency pair(s) is listed in the table. Use of these
frequencies in the Mexican and Canadian border areas is subject to
coordination with those countries. See paragraph (c) of this section for
special provisions concerning use in the Mexico border area.

(b) The 200 channels are divided into three sub-bands as follows:
Channel No. Sub-band Frequencies (MHz)
1-40 A 220.0025-220.1975/221.0025-221.1975
41-160 C 220.2025-220.7975/221.2025-221.7975
161-200 B 220.8025-220.9975/221.8025-221.9975
(c) U.S./Mexico border area. (1) Channels 16-30, 45-60, 76-90, 106-120,
136-145, 156-165, 178-194 are available for primary use within the United
States within 120 km (74.6 mi) of the Mexican border, subject to the power
and antenna height conditions specified in § 90.729 and the use restrictions
specified in § § 90.717-90.721.
(2) Channels 195-200 are available to both the United States and Mexico in
the border area on an unprotected basis. Use is limited to a maximum
effective radiated power (ERP) of 2 watts and a maximum antenna height of
6.1 meters (20 ft) above ground.
(3) Channels allotted for primary Mexican use (1-15, 31-45, 61-75, 91-105,
121-135, 146-155, and 166-177) may be used in the border area subject to the
condition that the power flux density not exceed−86 dB(W/m2) at or beyond
any point on the border. Stations operating under this provision will be
considered secondary and will not be granted protection from harmful
interference from stations that have primary use of the frequencies.
