Unlocking the 2-Meter Band: Essential Frequency Selection Tips for Amateur Radio Operators

By K0NR

When new to the 2-meter FM transceiver, securing a quiet frequency for chatter seems straightforward, but it's essential to navigate FCC rules and band plans effectively. Even though frequency allocations are consistent above 50 MHz for Technician licenses, adherence to specific segments within the 2m band—ranging from 144 MHz to 148 MHz—is crucial. This includes respecting designations for different modes like CW, SSB, and FM to prevent interference, particularly with satellites and exotic modes like EME. Understanding and following the structured band plans not only ensures legal compliance but also optimizes frequency use and minimizes disruptions in the amateur radio community.
