High-frequency (HF) radio is in the 100- to 10-metre wavelength band, extending from 3 megahertz to 30 megahertz. Much of the HF band is allocated to mobile and fixed voice communication services requiring transmission bandwidths of less than 12 kilohertz. International (shortwave radio) broadcasting…

Read moreWhat is the advantage of UHF radio?
UHF Radio Advantages In general, UHF radios are better for indoor use because their wavelengths are shorter and better able to penetrate through steel and concrete . UHF radios broadcast at between 300 MHz and 3 GHz. VHF radio signals tend to degrade more than UHF signals indoors.
Read moreWhat is VHF and UHF?
VHF represents “Very High Frequency” while UHF represents “Ultra High Frequency.” The FCC also determines who can operate in each band and who has priority if more than one user is operating.
Read moreHow do you transmit VHF?
Use an “open channel” to performance the check (channels 68, 69, 71, 72 and 78A). Turn radio to one-watt power setting, and key the microphone. Call “radio check” three times, followed by your boat name and location. Wait for a reply confirming someone has heard your transmission.
