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).
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 ...
[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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
In the United States, the Multi-Use Radio Service ( MURS) is a licensed by rule (i.e. under part 95, subpart J, of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations [ 1]) two-way radio service similar to the Citizens band (CB). Established by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in the fall of 2000, MURS created a radio service allowing for licensed ...
The plane of polarization of radio waves rotates as they pass through ionized layers of the Earth's atmosphere. This effect is more pronounced at lower VHF frequencies and becomes less significant at 1296 MHz and above. Some of the polarization mismatch loss can be reduced by using a larger antenna array (more Yagi elements or a larger dish). [7]
LPD433 (low power device 433 MHz) is a UHF band in which license free communication devices are allowed to operate in some regions. The frequencies correspond with the ITU region 1 ISM band of 433.050 MHz to 434.790 MHz. The frequencies used are within the 70-centimeter band, which is currently otherwise reserved for government and amateur ...
