What radio frequency does the military use?
The military has a BIG (175 MHz) military aircraft band in the 225-400 MHz range. Basic spacing between channels is 25 kHz. You will find not only oddball spacing (especially in segments of the band with military satellite uplink/downlink channels), but a variety of modes and bandwidths.
What is a guarded frequency?
What is the frequency supposed to be used for? 121.5 MHz is a guarded frequency, hence the “Guard” comment you constantly hear. 121.5 MHz, and UHF 243.0 MHz for military operations, are monitored by ATC and others, including maritime agencies.
How do you monitor military aircraft?

121.5 MHz: International Aeronautical Emergency Frequency.
Why don’t you say repeat on the radio?
Why do you not say repeat on the radio? – Quora. Because a repeater is a station that receives and retransmits a signal. Usually on a different frequency. So If you say repeat then other operators would be blasting your message around the planet taking up air time for no reason.
What frequencies should you listen to when flying?
The frequencies that will have the most communications on them are the ones you will want to listen to the most. Remembering them will allow you to more easily follow ATC communications as they happen. 121.5 is the emergency frequency. If there is some sort of emergency, pilots will transmit on it.
What frequencies are used at non-towered airports?
The Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) or Unicom frequencies are typically used at nontowered airports. The most common are 122.7, 122.8, 122.9, 123.0. 123.050 MHz with 122.950 being the usual CTAF frequency of choice for airports with a tower. Pilot-controlled lighting systems (PCL) are used at some smaller, non-towered airports.
What is the frequency range of aviation radio?
Aviation radio is allocated a small portion of the medium frequency spectrum in a band from 2850 to 3000 KHz. Most planes have radio direction finders onboard that get a bearing by focusing in on a medium frequency transmission. In the past, high frequency bands were typically used for domestic voice communications.
What is the emergency frequency for air traffic control?
121.5 is the emergency frequency. If there is some sort of emergency, pilots will transmit on it. You could also hear an emergency locator beacon on this frequency if a plane crashes. Search 122.0-123.65 for Unicom (uncontrolled airports) and air to air communications.
