Which amateur band are you using when your station is transmitting on 146.52 MHz?

  1. 70 cm band

  2. 2 meter band

  3. 6 meter band

  4. 23 cm band

The correct answer is: 2 meter band

When a station is transmitting on 146.52 MHz, it is operating in the 2 meter band. This frequency falls within the VHF (Very High Frequency) range commonly designated for amateur radio use. The 2 meter band covers frequencies from 144 to 148 MHz, making 146.52 MHz an appropriate and commonly used frequency within that band for simplex communication among amateur operators. The other bands mentioned in the choices are defined by different frequency ranges. The 70 cm band operates between 420 and 450 MHz, the 6 meter band spans from 50 to 54 MHz, and the 23 cm band covers frequencies from 1240 to 1300 MHz. None of these bands include 146.52 MHz, which firmly places the transmission within the 2 meter band.
