300 MHz – Frequency Band & Applications

πŸ“‘

Frequency
300 MHz
🧭

Range
225–300 MHz
🧩

Band Group
UHF (300–1000 MHz)

🌐 Summary

The 300 MHz allocation is part of the UHF (300–1000 MHz) spectrum. This range is used worldwide for critical applications that keep our communications and infrastructure running smoothly. On this page we highlight how each band is applied in real systems, from regulatory assignments to everyday devices. Our goal is to make spectrum data clear and practical for engineers, regulators, and enthusiasts alike.

Key uses of this band include: 300 MHz: UHF AM comms, datalinks; Communication equipment, various devices.

Still inside the UHF military aeronautical range (225–400 MHz); above 300 MHz, similar usage persists with AM channelization.
