Unless you live near the CDN border, where 420-430 is commercial and 
public safety. Links here are either 433-434, 445-447, or maybe a few in 
440-442, although I think the ATV guys have a claim to it.

 Thanks, Al KB2AYU

As far as 900 goes, how much 'garbage' there is depends on where you 
are. Ohio has links in the 927-927.5 region, paired with 25 Mhz down. We 
find if you stay to the 12.5 pairs (.x125, .x375, .x625, .x875), noise 
is much less.

... in California.  However, I understand that some other parts of the 
country have used 440-442 paired with 445-447 MHz for linking.  Maybe that 
has changed recently?
