There are 7 channels in between 1 thru 40 , the 10kc mod will give you those , if your radio is modded for more channels it will also give you more channels.

There are only 5.

3A = 26.995
7A = 27.045
11A = 27.095
15A = 27.145
19A = 27.195

It can be fun working on these channels and getting away from the crowds!

Back in the 23 channel days, there were:

22A = 27.235 (now channel 24)
22B = 27.245 (now channel 25)

It's a somewhat risky proposition to operate there. Since the frequencies are currently (and actively) used by RC toys and various commercial telemetry devices, the frequencies are closely watched for intruders.

That doesn't stop people from operating on them, as many of the FCC Enforcement Bulletins will attest ...

Show me ONE bulletin in the last 10 years that busted anyone for talking on the "A" channels.

The ARRL's 'summary' doesn't show any (at least, dating back to late 2003), but I'm pretty certain there are a few on the FCC's EB site itself - one mentioning 27.145 and the other 27.195. One of these cites was issued to a licensed ham.

There were a number of hams who got popped for freebanding in the 2000-2004 timeframe, but one cannot readily locate that data on the ARRL site due to its being "reformatted". Head over to QRZ and have a look at a thread in the 'Q & A' forum regarding this. For example, I once saw where an N5 had been cited for operation on 27.585...you think you can easily find the EB when needed?

(Personally, I don't care what you folks do. But please use a bit of caution and common sense if you're going to bootleg...)
