VHF

Post by kq6qv »

The Very High Frequency spectrum is everything from 30 megahertz to 300 megahertz. It is divided into many bands for different purposes (police, fire, aircraft, etc.) Two of the bands within VHF are:
1. The TV VHF-low band. This band goes from 54 megahertz (channel 2) to 88 megahertz (channel 6).
2. The TV VHF-high band. This band goes from 174 megahertz (channel 7) to 216 megahertz (channel 13)
Each channel occupies 6 megahertz of this spectrum. (There is a 4 MHz gap between channels 4 and 5.)
