Band
Band limits, allowed bandwidth: Mode: Band subdivision: Usage: Italy rules:
500 Hz Telegraphy Generic Notes on specific modes to be used in a band Exclusive use for Amateur Radio
2700 Hz MGM, SSB No contests Primary use for Amateur Radio (other services allowed)
12 kHz All Modes Exclusive use Secondary use for Amateur Radio (primary service)
20 kHz Beacons only Band not allowed in Italy

Preferred mode and usage notes

*
The allocation of sub-bands in the IARU Region 1 bandplans allows the indicated category of users to employ any frequency within that sub-band, provided that no appreciable energy falls outside that sub-band. Users must therefore take into account the bandwidth of their sidebands when selecting an operating frequency. (de Haan, 1993)
*
The maximum bandwidth determines the maximum spectral width ( -6 dB points) of all emissions allowed in a segment. The mode indicates the modulation methods (e.g. telegraphy, telephony, MGM, etc) allowed in a segment. M(achine) G(enerated() M(ode) indicates those transmission modes relying fully on computer processing such as RTTY, AMTOR, PSK31, FSK441 and the like. The usage column indicates the main usage (sometimes country dependant) of a segment. In case only one application is allowed, the word 'exclusive' is added.
