Marine Radios Review

For broadcasting, your VHF Marine Radio or Hand Held VHF Marine Radio fall into the same grouping (144 to 148 Megahertz) as amateur ham radio’s band two, fixed mobile phones, television and radio satellite, railway frequencies, and weather stations. A section designated for wireless microphones at precise frequencies, military aircraft radio and radio AM stations as well as band three of television channels are located in this frequency range.

Radio astronomy research finds its home here also. By using radio frequencies that are emitted by the celestial bodies, scientists are able to track and observe these celestial bodies. The actual frequencies used for this purpose, however are reserved and are listed as confidential.
