These mode(s) are commonly used for voice on this band. Most bands allow other modes, as well (see restrictions).

Restrictions

Amateur stations transmitting on the 14.15-14.35 MHz segment may not emit an angle-modulated (FM or PM) emission that has a modulation index greater than 1 at the highest modulation frequency.

§97.307(f)(1) and §97.305(c)

Amateur stations transmitting on the 14.15-14.35 MHz segment may not emit a non-phone emission that exceeds the bandwidth of a communications quality phone emission of the same modulation type. The total bandwidth of an independent sideband emission (having B as the first symbol), or a multiplexed image and phone emission, shall not exceed that of a communications quality A3E emission.

§97.307(f)(2) and §97.305(c)

Only a RTTY or data emission using these specified digital codes may be transmitted on the 14-14.35 MHz segment: Baudot, AMTOR, ASCII, or any technique whose technical characteristics have been documented publicly, such as CLOVER, G-TOR, or PacTOR, for the purpose of facilitating communications.

§97.305 and §97.307(f)(3)

The authorized bandwidth for the 14-14.35 MHz segment is 2.8 kHz.
