Listen to packets at 300 baud
packet (HF)
Listen to
packets sent at 1200 baud (VHF/UHF)
For APRS packet
activity:
In the US and some other countries, the primary nationwide
APRS frequency is 144.39 MHz. In Europe, Australia and other parts of the world, it is 144.80
MHz.
There is also some HF APRS activity, primarily around 10.151.51 MHz LSB (North America)
and 14.105.51
MHz LSB (except in ITU Region 3). The
Operating
Modes page on this website has more
information about HF packet activity at 300 baud.
For BBS, Packet Cluster, Networks
and Packet
Conversations:
In the US, most packet
activity is
found on the 2 meter band:
2 meters:
Baud rate is typically 1200.
he most common frequencies are 144.93, 145.01, 145.03, 145.05,
145.07, 145.09 and 145.53 MHz, but you may find it anywhere between
144.90-145.10 and between 145.50-145.80. The baud rate used is 1200.
1.25 meters (220 band):
most packet heard in this band will be "backbone" traffic between
network nodes and BBSs. It will not be an access band for
users.
70 cm (440 band): The packet allocation
for the band
(mixed mode segment) is 432.10-432.30 and 432.40-433.00. Packet
should not be used below 432.00. By local option, packet could also
be used from 442.000 to 445.950 and 446.100 to 448.000. Baud rate
may be 9600 or 1200.
Note: some packet heard in this
band may be "backbone" traffic between network nodes and BBSs.
If so, there will be no user access to nodes or BBBs on the frequency.
For HF Packet:
HF BBS:
In North America, you can find the "Network 105" BBS on 14.105 MHz LSB.
Baud rate is 300.

*
AGWPE tones have a center frequency
of 2210 Hz, so for LSB you would set your radio dial + 2210 Hz
higher than the frequencies listed above. (For LSB, remember that
the greater the frequency shift, the
lower the resulting LSB
frequency.)
