There is no such table. Soon there will be a certificate based
authentication scheme, but this will only prevent you from routing
packet, it will not influence your ability to receive a signal. If
your radio is on the right frequency, you should at least be able to
receive a signal.

When was your modem configured? A month or two ago the channel plan
was changed, moving all the sectors into the ham-only part of the band
to avoid interference from Part 15 users.

The configuration here is accurate today:
