List of known pager paging data link data systems remote control radio control in the 26-28 MHz CB or 11-meter frequency range.


In the United States, Part 95 of the FCC rules allow use of the six 26 MHz/27 MHz RC frequencies for high power control, supervision, data link and "attention getting" devices. Mean (average) power limit is 4 watts on 26.995 MHz, 27.045 MHz, 27.095 MHz, 27.145 MHz, 27.195 MHz and 25 watts on 27.255 MHz. The majority of high power systems use 27.255 MHz - however some do transmit 4 watts on 26.995 MHz.

26.995, 27.045, 27.095, 27.145 and 27.195 MHz are all RC exclusive frequencies and voice transmissions are not allowed. However, these frequencies are often used as a "secret channel" or "A channel" by CBers and freeband operators. 27.255 MHz is CB channel 23 and data transmissions must co-exist with voice traffic on the same frequency. This likely explains the 25 watt power limit on 27.255 compared to the 4 watt power limit on the original 5 R/C channels.

The original five RC frequencies can trace their roots back to the origins of the CB radio service - when the band was first allocated as 26.96 MHz to 27.23 MHz the FCC band plan included five model control/data channels 35 kHz from the band edges with 50 kHz spacing between each RC channel. 26.995 MHz is 35 kHz above the bottom of the band (26.960 MHz) and 50 kHz away from the next R/C channel (27.045 MHz). 27.195 MHz is 35 kHz below the original edge of the band (27.230 MHz) as well. The 50 kHz spacing was in line with the capability of remote control systems in the 1950s. 27.255 MHz was originally used for paging and kept that use even after being designated as CB channel 23.

There is also extensive Part 15 usage of these frequencies for low-power R/C model control. Higher power levels are used by professional grade systems. Most higher-end remote control/radio control devices use the 72 MHz and 75 MHz frequencies (where 0.75 watts is the maximum power output) or the unlicensed 2.4 GHz band. However, there remains considerable use of 26-27 MHz for data link, remote sensor monitoring and other similar purposes due to the high power available for unlicensed users and excellent propagation characteristics for point-to-point data networks.

There appears to be extensive use of the 26 to 28 MHz band for paging, data link networks and other non-voice purposes in Europe and Russia.

Linear Pro Access XT-1 transmitter operating on 27.255 MHz with 10 watt transmit power, can be used as part of a long-range data link, remote sensor and remote system control systems along with companion receiver(s) and even other transmitters in the same network.
View of the PCB for the XT-1 27 MHz transmitter, note the crystal for frequency control. This device transmits a 10 watt FSK signal on 27.255 MHz (USA model) or a 4 watt FSK signal on 26.995 MHz (Canada model).
