RSGB Band Plans: Key Changes You Need to Know

The RSGB 2026 Band Plans were published in the recently released February 2026 edition of RadCom.

This year’s changes address a handful of key topics, including updates to the 5MHz band plan to emphasise correct operating, which comes in the light of out-of-band FT8 usage and Ofcom monitoring concerns.

Updates at 50MHz have been made to accommodate new repeater inputs, which use a wider 1MHz split, easing the implementation of their duplex filters.

In the 430MHz UHF band, provision for low-power ad hoc repeaters and some editorial updates have also been made.

As Band Plans change over time, please ensure you only refer or link to the current ones on the RSGB website and remove any older ones you have saved locally.
