From http://www.soundcardpacket.org/8frequencies.htm
In the US, most packet activity is found on the 2 meter band:
2 meters: Baud rate is typically 1200. he most common frequencies are 144.93, 145.01, 145.03, 145.05, 145.07, 145.09 and 145.53 MHz, but you may find it anywhere between 144.90-145.10 and between 145.50-145.80. The baud rate used is 1200.
1.25 meters (220 band): most packet heard in this band will be "backbone" traffic between network nodes and BBSs. It will not be an access band for users.I looked at the Florida Repeater Council Bandplan - http://florida-repeaters.org/bandplans.htm
70 cm (440 band): The packet allocation for the band (mixed mode segment) is 432.10-432.30 and 432.40-433.00. Packet should not be used below 432.00. By local option, packet could also be used from 442.000 to 445.950 and 446.100 to 448.000. Baud rate may be 9600 or 1200.
2m packet radio is at 144.900 - 145.100
70cm packet radio is at 430.050 - 430.95 for 100 khz channels
431.025 - 431.950 for 25 khz channels
440.975 - 441.075 for 25 khz channels
The key I was told the other day was to listen for a while before you use one of them. That is a given, but a smart thing to remember.
I will probably do my experiments on UHF to stay as far out of the way of the busy 2m band as possible. I am going to listen, but probably use one of these: 440.9500, 440.9750, 441.0000, 441.0250,
