What is VHF?

VHF stands for Very High Frequency. It refers to the radio frequency range from 30 MHz to 300 MHz. VHF radio waves are commonly used for FM radio broadcasting, television broadcasting, two-way land mobile radio systems (such as police, fire, and ambulance radios), amateur radio, and air traffic control communications. They offer a relatively long range, and signals can travel beyond the horizon under certain conditions.
