The US regulations require our signals to be contained within the designated band limits. As an example, 14.150 ~ 14.350 MHz.

A transceiver typically displays the suppressed carrier frequency. Let's use 14.200 MHz as an example. When you transmit on upper sideband, the voice signal is contained with the range of 14.200 to 14.203. If you change to lower sideband, the signal is contained within 14.200 to 14.197 MHz.

From this information you should be able to determine how close to a band edge your suppressed carrier frequency can be set. It depends on what sideband is selected and which band edge you are near. The examples give in the ITU R1 band plan are correct as you quoted (assuming 1840, 3600, and 7050 are the band limits in your region).

Some people may argue their voice signal is only 2.5 KHz wide, but the principle still holds the same.

are some knowledgable people here who can explain this.

ITU R1 band plan says:

* - Lowest dial setting for LSB Voice mode: 1843, 3603 and 7053 kHz*

But it does not mention the highest dial setting for USB on 20-10 meters.

So is it allowed to work USB on 14349 what concerns the band plan?

IARU Region 1 and Region 2 band plans both also say:

*Transmitting frequencies: The announced frequencies in the band plan are
understood as “transmitted frequencies” and not those of the suppressed
carrier!*

What does it mean? Does it mean that furthermore, it is stressed that 14349
is OK as it is the transmitted frequency?
