Look up frequency allocations, band plans, and known stations for radio services (marine, aviation, amateur, broadcast, NOAA weather). Use when finding frequencies to monitor, verifying band allocations, or discovering channels in a frequency range.
This skill helps find frequencies and band plans for various radio services.
Use this skill when:
Channel 16 (156.800 MHz) - International Distress/Safety/Calling Channel 9 (156.450 MHz) - Recreational calling (US) Channel 6 (156.300 MHz) - Intership safety
