Range
300–330 MHz
🧩

Band Group
UHF (300–1000 MHz)

🌐 Summary

The 314 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: 314 MHz: Government, public safety, commercial land mobile; fixed links; Land mobile, Fixed; UHF AM comms, datalinks; Handheld radios, vehicle radios, dispatch equipment; garage door remotes, car key-fobs, remote start; tire pressure telemetry.

UHF military aeronautical band (225–400 MHz): AM air‑to‑air/ATC; some segments host UHF SATCOM links.
