When General class licensees are not permitted to use the entire voice portion of a band, which portion of the voice segment is available to them?
The lower frequency portion
The upper frequency portion✓Correct answer
The lower frequency portion on frequencies below 7.3 MHz, and the upper portion on frequencies above 14.150 MHz
The upper frequency portion on frequencies below 7.3 MHz, and the lower portion on frequencies above 14.150 MHz
Explanation
On every band where the General voice allocation is smaller than the full phone segment, the General portion sits at the top of the band: 3.800-4.000, 7.175-7.300, 14.225-14.350 and 21.275-21.450 MHz. The segments withheld for Amateur Extra and Advanced are always the lower ones, so no band splits the other way.
