operating in this band have been approved for operation in

required to avoid using local repeater input channels, which
will be in the range of 31 to 38, unless it is intended to use
the repeater facility, and to avoid using local repeater output
channels, which will be in the range 1 to 8, at any time.
No voice transmissions are permitted on data channels 22
and 23. Equipment meeting this standard will inhibit voice
