163.0375.PBR, to 165.0375 (split -4.5: 158.5375-160.5375) Mid Band
Many CBS (including some multi-channel trunked CBS) - 85 dual channels available.
Despite this section only being allocated to LAND MOBILE, (12.5 kHz) in some
books and magazines you may find extra marine channels given (channel number
greater than 50), either single or -4.6 dual, in the first 150kHz or so. (i.e. ch 53)
This seems to be a throwback to a bygone age when the marine band was larger.
Marine channels are 25kHz bandwidth too, so that ruins half of the 12.5kHz channel
above and below. How wasteful.

The first 70 per cent used to be used for the old BT RadioTelephones :
(until the 1980's saw the arrival of TACS at 935-950 MHz)
163.0375... BT System 4 (1983), to 164.4125 (split -4.5: 158.5375-159.9125)
12.5kHz, ch.s U1-U111, full duplex, 6 digit nums
Early versions used from 163.0375 to only 164.2125 as System 4 channels 95 down to 01.
U57 (163.7375 - base only) was control. 163.025 and 164.425 were boundaries.
and before that:
163.050 ... BT System 3 (1977), to 164.400 (split -4.5, 25kHz channels 55-1 in reverse!)
ch17 164.0 control, PTT, 5 digit #
and before that:
System 2 (1970s) with 9ch + 1 control ch (same band).
System 1 (1959 S.Lancs, 1965 Gr.London)

So who would use the ham band? Well, the military make good use of it (base comms etc), seeing as the hams
don't exactly use it to the full (and aren't primary users anyway)...
DERA perhaps (just speculation...) - now QinetiQ/DSTL.

450-451 used to be used for Links, split +14: 464-465

457-458.5, 460.5-461.5, 462.5-464, 467-470 were used.

There is a Euro plan (25-08) to re-organise 450-470: (boundaries)
460 ... Base, to 470 (split -10: 450-460)

A cellsite broadcasting on 951.2 may also be using another channel such as 954.8 for traffic
which is why it may not show up on a freq. counter.
Maximum mast-to-phone distance (due to timing limitations) is 35km (8km for 3G).
Find your local antennas with NetMonitor (Nokia)! (Motorola) (*4329 with Trium) (Siemens)
- shows channel number, signal strength in -dBm, distance to mast in 500m steps (during calls), and more!

TACAN is like DME for slant distance measurement
but the return pulses give bearing info instead of using any VHF signal

1,215 - microwaves---(1.215 GHz)
Mobile, military, radar, navigation, fixed etc...

Rather specialist, wavelengths of less than 30cm really do allow
for high gain antennas, with very narrow beamwidths. Cable losses
become very noticeable and/or untenable. Mobile "flutter" quite
severe, mobile systems need many more base stations to cover a given
area. Most useful uses are direct fixed links, point to point, satellite
(line of sight), low range etc.
So - mostly un-interceptable and/or digital.
