41. Calculating upper base frequencies
Custom Band Plans (800 Custom, VHF, UHF) require that you enter both a lower
and an upper base frequency value. Here's how to determine these values.
The Lower Base Frequency (or Base ) is always the base frequency as provided in
the RRDB. The Upper Base Frequency is calculated from the following formulas:
For sites with a single band plan:
Base + ( (759 – Offset ) × Step )
Where:
Base = the lower base frequency listed in RRDB.
Offset = the offset for this entry.
Step = the step for this entry.
For sites with multiple band plans:
= Base
Upper Base
n
Where:
Base
is the lower base frequency for the entry.
n
Offset
is the Offset for the next band plan (for the last table, use 760)
n+1
Offset
is the offset for this band plan
n
Step
is the step for this band.
n
