What frequency range is allocated for Technician Class amateur radio operators?

• A. HF only
• B. VHF and UHF
• C. Microwave
• D. All frequency ranges

Answer: (B)

Technician Class amateur radio operators have access to various frequency ranges, primarily the VHF (Very High Frequency) and UHF (Ultra High Frequency) bands. This allocation allows technicians to engage in local communications, utilize repeaters, and participate in a variety of amateur radio activities such as voice communication, data transmission, and some basic experiments. The VHF band typically covers frequencies from 30 MHz to 300 MHz, while the UHF band extends from 300 MHz to 3 GHz. These bands are particularly well-suited for portable operation and communication over short to moderate distances, which makes them popular among ham radio operators. While Technician Class operators also have limited privileges in certain HF (High Frequency) bands, their primary allocation is indeed VHF and UHF. The other options are misleading in that they either restrict the scope of the Technician Class's abilities or imply a broader access that does not apply specifically to this license class.
