VHF and UHF numbered bands
This is a simple table showing allocated VHF and UHF bands here in the UK with their associated frequencies. Historically, the bands were frequency ranges used for different broadcasting services, but the service assigned to a particular band changed over time and differed between countries.
Frequencies are shown in MHz and bandwidths in kHz, as these are the units commonly used by radio scanners and receivers.
Band I | Band1 | 47.0000 | 68.0000 | allocation | ITU Region 1 VHF broadcast Band I. | |
Band II | Band2 | 87.5000 | 108.0000 | allocation | ITU Region 1 VHF broadcast Band II; includes the UK VHF FM broadcasting band. | |
Band III | Band3 | 174.0000 | 230.0000 | allocation | ITU Region 1 VHF broadcast Band III; used in the UK for DAB and historically for television. | |
