What are the different frequency bands?
Frequency Bands and Applications
| Frequency Band Name | Acronym | Frequency Range |
|---|---|---|
| Medium Frequency | MF | 300 to 3000 kHz |
| High Frequency | HF | 3 to 30 MHz |
| Very High Frequency | VHF | 30 to 300 MHz |
| Ultra High Frequency | UHF | 300 to 3000 MHz |
What are UHF and VHF frequencies?
UHF stands for “Ultra High Frequency” while VHF stands for “Very High Frequency.” UHF can range from low band (378-512 MHz) to high band (764-870 MHz) while VHF ranges from low band (49-108 MHz) to high band (169-216 MHz).
What is Highband frequency?
High frequency (HF) is the ITU designation for the range of radio frequency electromagnetic waves (radio waves) between 3 and 30 megahertz (MHz). It is also known as the decameter band or decameter wave as its wavelengths range from one to ten decameters (ten to one hundred meters).
Is VHF FM or AM?
AM, FM and TV Frequencies
| Channel | Range (MHz) | |
|---|---|---|

| – | 88 | 108 |
| VHF 2 | ||
| 7 | 174 | 180 |
Is there a standard offset for 162-174 MHz?
No standard offset. There are other unpaired single frequencies in other parts of the band that are not specified in the manual. Use of the band 162-174 MHz by the military agencies is limited to non-tactical or intra-base radio operations. Not in Manual.
Which is the most common form of radio receiver?
Broadcast radio receivers The most familiar form of radio receiver is a broadcast receiver, often just called a radio, which receives audio programs intended for public reception transmitted by local radio stations. The sound is reproduced either by a loudspeaker in the radio or an earphone which plugs into a jack on the radio.
What’s the difference between a radio and a broadcast receiver?
A broadcast receiver is commonly called a “radio”. However radio receivers are very widely used in other areas of modern technology, in televisions, cell phones, wireless modems and other components of communications, remote control, and wireless networking systems.
What are the radio frequencies used by the military?
Use of the band 162-174 MHz by the military agencies is limited to non-tactical or intra-base radio operations. Not in Manual. Citation needed. Military aviation frequencies are normally on 25 kHz steps (225.0, 225.025, 225.075 …) in AM mode.
