13 cm band
2.32 to 2.45 GHz, 130 MHz wide. Amateur radio is a secondary user here. Class A (75 W PEP) and E (5 W PEP) may transmit. The power limits are set by the Amateurfunkverordnung (AFuV, German amateur radio regulations), the segments are an agreement of IARU Region 1 and the DARC.

Band plan segments
Which mode goes where on the 13 cm band. This is not a rule but an agreement of IARU Region 1 (on 70 cm the DARC band plan); people stick to it so that telegraphy, digital modes and voice don't get in each other's way.
| Range | Group | max. bandwidth | Mode | Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,32 bis 2,45 GHz | All modes | 6000 Hz | All modes |
Meeting points on the 13 cm band
The band plan says where a mode is allowed. The meeting points say where people actually are: the dial frequency you type into the radio to find someone.
