radio amateurs, (semi-) professional users. The Baofeng UV-5R is a handheld radio transceiver manufactured by the Chinese manufacturer Baofeng. This model was the first dual band radio (VHF/UHF) to be successfully distributed by a Chinese brand. It is inexpensive and relatively simple to use (though tedious to program without computer software).
The 1.25-meter, 220 MHz or 222 MHz band is a portion of the VHF radio spectrum internationally allocated for amateur radio use on a primary basis in ITU Region 2, and it comprises frequencies from 220 MHz to 225 MHz. [ 1] In the United States and Canada, the band is available on a primary basis from 222 to 225 MHz, with the addition of 219 to ...
[24] [25] [26] Introduced in the year 2000, the radio was known for its "all-in-one" functionality. It can transmit on all amateur radio bands between 160 meters and 70 centimeters, with the exception of the 1.25 meters band, and the "X" model also has built-in 23 centimeters band capability option. Kenwood discontinued production of the TS ...
In the U.S., license-free operation is also allowed on the medium frequency band, also known as the AM broadcast band. Similar to LowFER, MedFER is medium-frequency experimental radio. MedFER enthusiasts operate under FCC Part 15 rules using 0.1 W (a tenth of a watt) and a three-meter-long antenna between 510 kHz and 1705 kHz, coinciding with ...
PMR446 (Private Mobile Radio, 446 MHz) is a licence-exempt service in the UHF radio frequency band and is available for business and personal use in most countries throughout the European Union. [ 1] PMR446 is typically used for small-site, same-building and line of sight outdoor activities. Equipment used ranges from consumer-grade to ...
Shortwave (HF radio) is used by transoceanic aircraft for communications with air-traffic control centers out of VHF radio range. Most countries with HF citizens'-band allocations use 40 or 80 channels between approximately 26.5 MHz and 27.9 MHz, in 10 kHz steps. Due to antenna-length requirements and the band's long-distance propagation ...
The 80 meter or 3.5 MHz band is a span of radio frequencies allocated for amateur use, from 3.5–4.0 MHz in North and South America ( IARU and ITU Region 2); generally 3.5–3.8 MHz in Europe, Africa, and northern Asia ( Region 1); and 3.5–3.9 MHz in south and east Asia and the eastern Pacific ( Region 3). [ a] The upper portion of the band ...
In the Americas (defined as International Telecommunication Union (ITU) region 2), the FM broadcast band consists of 101 channels, each 200 kHz wide, in the frequency range from 87.8 to 108.0 MHz, with "center frequencies" running from 87.9 MHz to 107.9 MHz. For most purposes an FM station is associated with its center frequency.
