[Icom] Amateur Radio, Audio, and RF levels - 14.178 - Revisited

[Chris BONDE]

I should have looked at RIC-2.  I have a RAC HF Band Plan as of 
1995April22.  (Note "Plan" not rule.)  The Title for each band states a 
general bandwidth, 160 6kHz, 80m 6, 40m 6, 30m 1, 20m 6, 17m 6, 15 m 6, 12m 
6, & 10m 20khz max bandwidth.  10m is to allow FM and 30m is restricted to 
CW, digital and packet.

That is what I interpret, which goes along with what you have said.

An aside, the sub-band plans, as far as I can find out are not strict but 
guide lines only in Canada, ie, can operate any mode anywhere (I have heard 
LSB below 3.725)
