US Band Plans
This article gathers all information regarding band plans in the US. This band plan only covers bands that have repeaters operating on them, from 10-meters and up.
Repeaterbook does not conduct any enforcement of the band plans and does not refuse to document stations that are outside of the coordination guidelines or band plan. A repeater listing on Repeaterbook does not, in any way, endorse a particular repeater or establish the legality of the repeater's operation.
This band plan is provided as a courtesy to users and is used as a template to help administrators and users determine the correlated input frequency of a repeater channel.
ARRL
The ARRL has recommended a band plan. It is not necessarily adopted completely by all coordination entities. http://www.arrl.org/band-plan

Notes: Significant regional variations in both current band utilization and the intensity and frequency distribution of noise sources preclude one plan that is suitable for all parts of the country. These variations will require many regional frequency coordinators to maintain band plans that differ in some respects from any national plan. As with all band plans, locally coordinated plans always take precedence over any general recommendations such as a national band plan.

Arizona Repeater Owners Frequency Coordination Committee
The Frequency Coordination Committee of the Amateur Radio Council of Arizona is a group of volunteer amateur radio operators who work to provide coordination services to the amateur radio community in Arizona. Coordination is performed for VHF and UHF frequencies to be used for repeater, digital, and point to point operations. This service is available for amateur radio frequencies from 29 MHz and up.
Arizona adopted the ARRL VHF band plan with a few minor changes and additions. This listing is provided to assist in identifying specific sub-band usage. When considering frequencies for use in conjunction with a proposed repeater, be certain that both the input and output fall within sub-bands authorized for repeater use, and do not extend past the sub-band edges. FCC regulation 97.205(b) defines frequencies that are currently available for repeater use. Please consult your local ARCA Frequency Coordinator for help finding suitable repeater frequencies.
For example, a 2-meter repeater on 145.50MHz would be out-of-band because the deviation will put the signal outside of the authorized band segment.
Packet radio operations under automatic control should be guided by Section 97.109(d) of the FCC rules. Prior to regular packet radio use of any VHF/UHF “channel” is advisable to check with the local ARCA frequency coordinator.
