Answer Notes
For the 6-meter band (50 MHz to 54 MHz), Canadian regulations allow a maximum transmission bandwidth of 30 kHz.
As this band marks the beginning of the VHF spectrum, the available space expands compared to the HF bands. This generous 30 kHz limit allows operators to use wideband modes, including FM voice and high-speed digital data.
Remember that 30 kHz is the standard maximum bandwidth for both the 6-meter and 2-meter VHF bands, making it distinct from the 20 kHz limit on 10 meters and the 6 kHz limit on lower HF bands.
