Which radio is commonly used for high frequency communications?
VHF
Which frequency band is used primarily for ground to air communications?
138-144 MHz band
How far can 400 MHz reach?
Thus the typical ranges with around 400 MHz frequency range with 1 W transmitter power are up to ~30 kilometers and up to ~80 kilometers with 10 W transmitter power.
Is VHF analog or digital?
In the Americas and many other parts of the world, VHF Band I was used for the transmission of analog television. As part of the worldwide transition to digital terrestrial television most countries require broadcasters to air television in the VHF range using digital rather than analog format.
What radio frequency do airplanes use?
122.75 MHz
Is 121.5 still monitored?
DOES ANYONE STILL MONITOR 121.5 MHZ ELTS? Even though satellites no longer monitor 121.5 MHz signals, the search and rescue community will still respond when notified through other means. ELTs were originally intended to use 121.5 MHz to inform air traffic control and pilots monitoring the frequency of an emergency.
How do I listen to airport frequencies?
If you’ve got nothing better to do on one night, visit LiveATC.net, where anyone with a computer or smartphone and a passing interest in aviation can listen to control towers live, worldwide, and in full action. Student pilots use it to listen to their local airport to get accustomed to the myriad radio calls required.
