Got me there!
Haven't a clue what's immediately below 87Mhz. A bit further down, in the 40's and 50's is the old Band One, which was 405 line television and is now used as link frequencies for communiity radio stations getting signals to transmitters, and similar things to that.
Above Band Two FM is a bit of aircraft communication and things like that.
Do Malasia possibly still use the old middle bit of Band Two (97MHz to 100MHz) for the police or something?
I remember when Gwent Broadcasting were the first in the UK to be on about 103MHz, their (brilliant) publicity slogan was "Gwent Broadcasting - On The Other Side of The Law".

There's a quick list there. FWIW I have a radio that can get FM-Air and Marine Band (as the radio calls them).

According to ASEAN receivers for 'spot meteological broadcasts' are allowed, however:

FexEx also say that if they're for the use of telecommunication authorities it's fine as well:

Here's a list of the entire UK radio spectrum, it's a few years out of date but it wouldn't have changed that much:

As you'll see, immediately below FM radio broadcasting is 'PBR' - private business radio; things like Taxis, AA/RAC etc. At the other end, above 108Mhz is Aeronautical communications

A lot depends on the location.
America uses below 87Mhz for TV channels.
Over here, business radio.
Apparently according to some bright spark on Wikipedia, we have amateur radio at 70Mhz aka "ham radio". Not the same thing as Citizen's Band radio which works on 27Mhz.

In the 'good old days' you could phone up the IBA and they'd send you a comprehensive listing. Maybe if I have a few minutes I might see what comes back if OFCOM are asked the same question.

Oh yes, memories memories, Winchester, dialling code 0962 from most places, eight double two, four double four!DVB Cornwall wrote:In the 'good old days' you could phone up the IBA.
I think I'm right that that number, with the obligatory 1 added, still goes through to Arquiva, or what every the Australians are calling them this week.

Thought it best not to tell them about the scraped knuckle I got earlier putting up an ariel for my mum so she can get Freeview.
