[Flexradio] 6m FM - deadband?
Hi all I'm on 6m (51.530Mhz) with a Flex 3000 and I am seeing 6m deadband below the ferquency output on VFO A. What does this mean and how do I make it use NFM. This is a working frequency in the UK (bandplan 50-52Mhz).

I have never tried operating in that part of the band, but just tuning there now it says the same thing as you see. However, it looks like just an info text, as there doesn't seem to be any restriction on transmitting there. I can get full power out on FMN across that band segment. As for the text, I imagine it may have something to do with a guard-band between repeater in/out and simplex frequencies. I am not familiar with the US bandplan in that frequency range. The text can be modified by editing the database.

Re: [Flexradio] 6m FM - deadband?
According to the 6m bandplan on the ARRL website, 51.5-51.6 MHz is FM Simplex (6 channels). I have found other band plans online that list nothing between 51.48 MHz 51.62 MHz. This is one of the frequency ranges in 6m listed as Deadband in the database. In any event, the text is for reference only can be changed by judicious editing of the BandText table in the database. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
