Amateur (Ham) Radio Frequency Table

1 Amateur (Ham) Radio Frequency TableAmateur (Ham) Radio Frequency TableThis information is presented for people that are NOT hams, or Amateur Radio operators, that want to know something about the frequencies that hams are legally allowed to use. Hams are required to know this in order to get an Amateur license, or ticket as a license is called, to operate a transmitter. You may also gain other information by looking at our Frequency Wavelength Calculator, our citizens band Radio (CB) Frequency Table , our Family Radio (FRS) Frequency Table , our General Device Frequency Information, our Marine VHF band Radio Frequency Table , our 49 Mhz Cordless Phone Frequency Table , our 900 Mhz Cordless Phone Frequency Information, our Analog Cellular Phone Frequency Table , our Cellular, PCS, GSM, and Japanese Digital Cellular Frequencies Table , and our US And International Tables Of Frequency Allocations.

8 There are 40 channels, designated 1 through 40. The service is AM but also allows for SSB operation on radios that are capable. CB, as it is called, is a two-way voice communication service for use in your personal and business activities. Expect a communication range of one to five miles. License documents are neither needed or issued. CB Rule 3 provides your authority to operate a CB unit in places where the FCC regulates radiocommunications, as long as you use only an unmodified FCC certificated CB unit (CB Rule 9). An FCC certificated unit has an identifying label placed on it by the manufacturer. Per the FCC, there is no age or citizenship requirement. You may operate your CB unit within the territorial limits of the fifty United States, the District of Columbia, and the Caribbean and Pacific Insular areas (" ").

9 You may also operate your CB on or over any other area of the world, except within the territorial limits of areas where Radio -communications are regulated by another agency of the or within the territorial limits of any foreign government. You may also be permitted to use your CB unit in Canada subject to the rules of Industry Canada; other countries may also allow CB Frequency use but it is your responsibility to verify that prior to use. There are no height restrictions for antennas mounted on vehicles or for hand-held units (CB Rule 8). For structures, the highest point of your antenna must not be more than 20 feet above the highest point of the building or tree on which it is mounted, or 60 feet above the ground. There are lower height limits if your antenna structure is located within two miles of an airport.

10 You may use any of the 40 CB channels on a "take-turns" basis. These channels must be shared by all CB users. There are no channels authorized in the CB Radio Service above MHz or below MHz. No CB channel is assigned to any specific individual or organization (CB Rule 7). Be cooperative. Keep your communications short. Never talk with another station for more than 5 minutes continuously. Then wait at least one minute before starting another communication (CB Rule 16). Use Channel 9 only for emergency communications or for traveler assistance.
