hey everyone, got my general a few months ago and im still figuring out where i can transmit on 20m. i know phone starts at 14.150 but ive been hearing people on 14.230 doing phone and some digital stuff too. is this legal for general class or am i missing something about the band edges? my radio lets me transmit there but that doesn't mean i should right

you're good to go on 14.230 with general class. phone privileges for general start at 14.225 on 20 meters, not 14.150 (thats where you can start on other bands). 14.230 is definitely in the phone portion so no worries there. just watch out for the digital modes that hang around 14.230, lot of psk31 and ft8 activity in that area

yeah what he said about 14.225, but also check the band plan for your area because some regions have gentlemans agreements about certain frequencies. like 14.230 is pretty popular for digital modes during the day so you might want to listen first before jumping in with phone. i learned this the hard way when i first got my general and stepped on someones ft8 session
