Familiarization

Differences Between HF, VHF, and UHF.

Key Points of Discussion:

• Frequency Ranges
• Radio Familiarization
• Frequency Loading Procedures

• HF (High frequency) radio frequencies are between 3 and 30 MHz.
• Used mostly by amateur radio operators.

• UHF (Ultra high frequency) designates a range of electromagnetic waves with frequencies between 300 MHz and 3 GHz.
• UHF is the most commonly used frequency bands for transmission of television signals. Modern mobile phones also transmit and receive within the UHF spectrum.

• VHF (Very high frequency) is the radio frequency range from 30 MHz to 300 MHz.
• Common uses for VHF are FM radio broadcast and land mobile stations (emergency, business, and military).
