The 2025 Band Plans can be found in the March edition of RadCom. These incorporate further VHF and UHF changes in response to the increased demand that has been prompted by the new Ofcom Amateur Licence; and a few from the 2023 IARU Region-1 General Conference.
The band plans are also available on the RSGB website in various formats, where more detailed change notes can also be found to guide users. In summary the changes for 2025 are:
Microwave: No change at present, but we have submitted options to the forthcoming IARU Interim Meeting in April, regarding potential changes to the 23cm band
HF: No change at present. However we continue to liaise at IARU level regarding proposals for harmonisation and a re-balance between CW/SSB versus digital usage
VHF: Three additional 145MHz FM Gateway frequencies have been included
UHF: The 432MHz narrowband sections have been simplified to a unified 2.7kHz max BW for all modes in line with IARU-R1 changes. A raft of detailed changes cover gateway and repeater additions and the Band Plan notes. These include a new class of 5MHz split 70cm repeaters; and a pair of 9MHz splits for emergency comms/community usage. Clearer provisions for other applications such as pagers and LoRa are included
