Note 1: The band 863-865 MHz is available for radio microphones, however due note should be taken that it is used also for non-professional and consumer radio applications (cordless audio, etc.).
Note 2: Depending on application scenario, channel width and required transmitter power, the portable, mobile and temporary point-to-point audio links may be accommodated either in the frequency bands 174-216 MHz and 470-694 MHz identified for professional radio microphones (typically for low power/wideband applications) or in other VHF/UHF bands, including Private Mobile Radio (PMR) bands (typically for high power/narrowband applications).
Note 3: According to the definitions in Annex 1, these applications are service links that operate in the audio PMSE bands.
