VHF and UHF Radios Compared – Which Is Best? VHF (136 – 174MHz) signals generally work best outdoors, giving a somewhat longer range for the same power output than UHF (400 – 470MHz). However, VHF signals really do not work well when there are obstructions like buildings around.
Read moreWhat is the best frequency for two-way radios?
UHF radios (Ultra High Frequency) operate on frequencies ranging from 400-512 Megahertz (MHz) . UHF radios work best for most two-way radio users because the waves are shorter and can get around or penetrate areas of interference, like those found in buildings, thickly wooded or hilly areas, and urban outdoor settings.

Common radio frequency bands include the following: AM radio – 535 kilohertz to 1.7 megahertz . Short wave radio – bands from 5.9 megahertz to 26.1 megahertz. Citizens band (CB) radio – 26.96 megahertz to 27.41 megahertz. Television stations – 54 to 88 megahertz for channels 2 through 6.

Two-Way Radio Frequencies Golden Rule The higher the frequency, the better the in-building penetration. This means a lower frequency like 150MHz in the VHF radio band will travel farther, and a higher frequency like 450MHz in the UHF radio band will work better inside of buildings.
