LPD433 - Low Power Device 433 MHz band. Overlaps with the 70cm UHF amateur radio allocation (in some areas). Sometimes called SRD433 for Short Range Device 433 MHz band. Very low power short range 10mW 10milliwatts power limit. ITU Region 1 license free unlicensed service 433.05 MHz to 434.79 MHz ISM band (ITU Region 1 ISM only). May be used for data links, RC, garage door openers, remote sensing such as doorbells, wireless weather stations, etc. or voice. Narrow FM voice standardized for 69 channels starting at 433.05 MHz ending at 434.775 MHz. Note that datalink, telemetry and remote control or R/C systems do not have to follow the de facto standardized 69 FM voice channels frequency plan.

For example, 433.92 MHz or 433.9 MHz or 433.925 MHz is heavily used for data links and other short range purposes. However, not all 433 MHz devices are covered under the LPD433 service, some operate at Part 15 power levels, similar to garage door openers, keyfobs and other very short range RF systems (i.e. 310 MHz, 315 MHz, 390 MHz and other bands used by garage door openers and other remote control devices). LPD433 data link and telemetry systems offer range up to 1km or more with high quality antennas and radio chips.

Like other unlicensed, ISM and similar bands, LPD433 is being explored as a possible frequency band for narrowband Internet of Things IoT networks and similar technologies. Other bands considered for these purposes include the 860 MHz SRD allocation SRD860, the 902-928 MHz unlicensed band and variants - generally just called "900 MHz", and even the 26-28 MHz, 34 MHz, 35 MHz, 40 MHz, 41 MHz or 49 MHz SRD and RC bands.

Standardization: ETSI EN 300 220-2 short range devices 433,050 MHz to 434,790 MHz 433.050 MHz to 434.790 MHz 433.05-434.79 MHz.

Some handheld walkie talkies sold in Europe include both the original 8 PMR446 channels plus the 69 LPD433 channels for a total of 77 channels, despite the significantly reduced range on the LPD433 channels (10 milliwatts power on 433 MHz vs. 500 milliwatts on 446 MHz). However, these LPD433 + PMR446 dual service radios quickly dropped out of popularity once PMR446’s analog channels increased from 8 to 16, and digital PMR446 (DPMR446) capability for improved weak signal performance and as well as channel sharing / selective calling - CTCSS and DCS on analog, and various selective calling (group call, individual call, etc.) that 500mW digital PMR446 offers in addition to the capabilities offered by 16 channel analog/digital or 32 channel digital only PMR446/dPMR446 devices.

Like PMR446, LPD433’s allocation falls within the US allocation 70cm amateur radio band 420 MHz - 450 MHz.

Like other license free personal radio services, the LPD433 service 433MHz is used as another no license required unlicensed two way radio service, except at much higher power. In places like Russia, high power is common on these frequencies, as is using the frequencies above 434.775 MHz and below 433.050 MHz. Examples include documented use of Baofeng UV-5R, UV-82, UV-82HP, BF-9700, BF-888S type / H-777 type handheld radios on 431 MHz, 435.050 MHz, 433.000 MHz, and so on by Russian military as short range tactical radios.
