Ham Community HF to EHF band plan
Product in Printed items
We just had to design our own, and we wanted to do it both differently and more in line with our image of what a band plan should be able to do. It should be able to be used by all classes more easily. By more easily we mean that, for example, a Technician class operator, should be able to just look up their band plan, more directly - the same for any class, or for Canadian operators. Thus the columns. As you will notice, each class has its own HF column. On the VHF to EHF side of the two-sided band plan, things are different. All classes are combined with the occasional note when there is a class difference.
This is a prototype band plan, hence the low price. We expect there might be some improving to do, despite our best efforts to be accurate. To this end, once you buy the band plan, you will receive an email with a url taking you to a page where you can leave comments.
Our current goal is to update the plan at least every two years.
The band plan is folded in a Z-fold. Open, it measures 11 inches wide, by 25.5 inches high. Folded, it is 8.5 by 11 inches. We ship the band plans in a hard envelope to ensure it arrives in optimal condition.
Note that the two sides are printed upside down to one another. The reason for this is so that you - if you get two plans - can put them side by side as per our images.

Heil in Amateur Radio Heil Sound is the only high performance microphone manufacturer for amateur radio. Period. Company founder Bob Heil understood very early in his career as a microphone designer that voice articulation is key to ham radio, both for emergency use as well as for the hobbyist. His ham radio products are a result of that level of concern for the voice. Bob is a legend in amateur radio, an author, and "in demand" speaker at ham events around the world. His weekly "Ham Nation" show can be seen on Twit.tv network. Heil also understands that ham radio receivers are not created equal. The team at Heil Sound are experts at making the right connection between the mic or headset and the receiver. A wide array of adapters are just a link away.

- Hours of Operation: RF Parts Company office hours are from 7:00 to 4:00 PST - Monday-Friday. Closed Saturday-Sunday. Will Call orders are available for local pickup. Please place your order online and your order will be ready for pickup the next business day unless prior arrangements have been made. Our website is available 24 hrs daily for ordering. Orders placed online usually ship by the next working day. - How shipping costs are calculated. RF Parts Company determines its shipping costs based on zip code groups that fall under "zones." RF Parts Company is located in San Marcos CA, which is in San Diego County. Immediate surroundings are "Zone 2" and it expands throughout the US all the way to "Zone 8" The price of shipping starts at a flat cost and increases according to weight of the products being ordered. Saver shipping method is mainly shipped out using USPS (Postal) or Fedex (One Rate). To keep the cost low for this shipping option, there are limitations on which orders can use this method. The weight limit for this method is 2 pounds, and the price limit for this method is $400.00. After 2 pounds most orders will not fit in the given USPS box or Fedex (Pad Pack) and we have to use a custom box size to ship the order. The basic USPS shipping methods are only insured up to $400.00. For orders exceeding $400.00, we have eliminated this shipping method. Orders exceeding 2 pounds or $400 USD, we recommend using another shipping method. Standard shipping method is calculated based on weight / dimensions vs destination of the customer's order. The more a product weighs, the more it costs to ship to you. Location is the next biggest factor in determining price of this method. Shipping prices are based on zip code ranges, if you live in a rural area, or in a further zone, the cost of shipping increases. The standard shipping method is a safe, efficient way to get your order in a timely manner. 2-Day and Next Day shipping methods are calculated the exact same way as the Standard shipping method. These options just guarantee you will have your order in 1 to 2 working days depending on the option you choose. RF Parts Company ships by FEDEX, UPS, or USPS to most countries. Please check with FEDEX, UPS, or USPS for countries they service. *The Standard and expedited shipping methods are typically shipped out via FedEx or UPS. - Lost or damaged packages Once an order has left RF Parts Company we are no longer responsible for the condition of the package in transit. RF Parts Company is not responsible for delayed delivery times, or slow delivery service. The time estimate given in each method is just an estimate. There are many factors that can delay or slow down transit time that RF Parts Company has no control over. Please make notes of your tracking number when emailed to you, or by logging into your account and checking your recent orders. If you have a lost or damaged package, please contact the shipping carrier and file a claim according to the carrier's specifications. If you are still having issues after you have contacted the shipping carrier, please contact RF Parts Company Customer Service (760)744-0700 ext 301, ask for Bonnie, and we can help with your claim. Tip: Choosing the Standard Shipping method will ensure if your package is lost or damaged that the claim will be handled faster than choosing Saver Shipping method. We use UPS and FedEx to ship Standard Shipping methods, claims filed to these carriers are handled quicker than claims filed to USPS. - How Do I Find My Shipping Cost? To determine estimated shipping, simply add the products and quantities of each item you wish to order to the shopping cart using the “Add to Cart” button next to the product and on the product page. After all desired products have been added to the shopping cart, and you are on the shopping cart page, below the list of your products there is a section labeled "Estimate Shipping and Tax." With a few simple steps, add the destination ship to address and it will give you all available shipping methods. After you have entered in your billing and shipping information, click "Proceed to Checkout" on the shopping cart page. It will give you all available shipping methods and their cost. - What is the cost of an item? Many products RF Parts Company offers can be available at a discount in quantity. All prices are available on the product page. When a product says "As low as…" there is quantity pricing available. Limited Quantity Items may have “Call for Price”, please contact our sales staff for current price and availability. - Is an item in stock? Our website runs off of a live inventory. If you can add the product’s to your cart, then it is generally in stock. If you are looking for larger quantity of an item, the system will only allow you to add up to the quantity we have in stock to your shopping cart. If you require additional quantity, please contact our Sales Staff and we will do our best to get the amount required. (If a product is no longer in production, we will try to find a suitable replacement) - "Proceed To Checkout" Button is not functioning. RF Parts Company has a $15 minimum order to be placed (before shipping charges). If there is not $15 worth of product in your shopping cart, you will not be able to proceed to the checkout page. There is a warning in green above the products you are ordering that will stay there until there is $15 worth of product in your shopping cart. All stock on RFParts.com is live and up to date. If you cannot find a part number, try searching a partial part number. If you do not find the part you are looking for, then we may not stock it.

About Us/Customer Comments About Us We are Main Trading Company. We are a real brick and mortar retail store located at 2707 Lamar Ave in Paris Texas (about a hundred miles North East of Dallas). We are Christine and Richard Lenoir. We Started in 2009 when Richard Lost his job in sales due to a stuggling economy. We Started selling on ebay. We would drive to DFW and bring back small pick up loads of surplus and closeouts. Our neighbors were really proud of us when we received our first truckload delivery at our home! In just a few short months the volume got out of hand and our living room and patio looked like a warehouse. We rented a small store front in Beautiful downtown Paris Tx in June of 2009. We out grew that location and moved across the street to 139 Bonham st. In January 2010. Times got even tougher when Christy lost her job as a radio announcer. She came on full time as well. Ham Com Plano Texas 2010 In May of 2010 we knocked out a wall in our building downtown and doubled our size. We moved again in November 2011 to 2246 Bonham st in Paris. We had hoped to stay there forever. Sometime in early 2011 we Reluctantly made our first order for the Wouxun handheld radio as a suggestion from Bob W1PE SK. When the shipment came in the entire order sold overnight. Since then thousands have been sold. Hundreds are still sold every month. Being an avid ham radio operator, Richard has alaways bought and traded used ham radio gear. Almost immediatly we started stocking and selling New Alinco amateur gear. After much persuasion, Kenwood came on board in 2010. Icom came on board in 2012 and Yaesu came in September 2015. We stand month after month as the number one dealers in Texas for Kenwood, Icom and Alinco and now Yaesu . We are usually number Three,four or five in the nation month after month for many of the brands we sell. We are now factory authorized dealers for MFJ, Ameritron, Comet, Texas BugCatcher, Rohn Tower, JetStream, LDG, RadioWavz and more. We have become the local experts on digital off air free TV reception in the area as well. During the Summer of 2013 we had the opportunity to purchase a building of our own. Seeing this as an opportunity and an investment we did it. It took several months to totally remodel it but we finally got it opened and moved again. (hopefully this is the last time) We had our grand opening February 15, 2014. Well over 300 were here in Paris Texas to help us celebrate. Some estimated the crowd to be close to 500 or more. We gave away new radios and had lots of fun. Factory reps were on hand and a great time was had by all. We are still surplus buyers and liquidators dealing in electronic surplus, overstocks, returns, damaged and salvaged freight and closed out electronics. We have the ability to purchase and move small lots to semi loads fast! For more info or if you have an inventory to move let us know. In our retail store you will find lots of this. There is not another store quite like ours. We even have a U.S. post office right here. You can buy stamps, ship packages, and mail your QSL cards. We can Postmark them with our own MTC postmark. We have huge sales events during the year that are better than any hamfest you have ever been to. In 2015 Christy left the business full time and took a job in a field that she really loves. She is still very much involved in the business though. You will catch her in the store on many weekend when the crew is away at the many hamfests we attend. Since the beginning of our business we have always attended hamfests and electronic shows. We average 28 a shows a year so we do stay busy. We also do voice work! Christy, has been in radio for 20 plus years. We have a full studio available to produce high quality voice overs. Whether you need a voice for your company's telephone on-hold system or for your advertising needs, we can quickly produce whatever you need. You will hear Christy's voice on many repeater sytems, TV and radio stations coast to coast. If you ever are in Paris Texas, Stop in for a visit. Most Saturdays it is a regular hamfest here with hams driving great distances to meet with others and to buy and trade radio gear here in the shop. Over the last several years it has been quite a ride. We have learned that if we trust God and treat others fairly great things can and do happen. Thank you for your continued business Above picture shows part of the crowd at the 2014 HamRadio Day. The Mayor of Paris declared it officially "Ham Radio Day" There was over 600 people at the event. Over $10,000 in door prizes were given away. Factory reps were on hand. MFJ drove the truck in and folks took advanted of the special discounts offered on everything in the store and out. Hundreds of free BBQ sandwiches were served. Live music played all day on the outside stage and big fun was had by all Over 300 people at Kenwood Day at MTC October 2012
