FREQUENCY ALLOCATIONS
Because of the short-range nature of VHF and UHF FM communications, fre-
quencies allocated to services in one geographical location will not be heard
more than 25-50miles distance (an exception is "skip", when signals bounce
back to earth from the ionosphere). Forthis reason, aseparate frequency direc-
tory must be compiled for each monitoring area.
Most standard frequency separations and classifications are regulated in the
United States by the FCC.
Block allocations...and even some discrete frequencies...covered by your scan-
ner are shown below. These are not necessarily active in your area.
