Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 I think that's all old information Steve, I don't think there are any TV stations running below the UHF bands now, most of the old VHF frequencies are up for grabs via auctions to the top bidder. "low band and high band' have been reserved for police and emergency use for years, they are either side of the ham 2 metre band. Local police around here use high band, state police use low band. City police use digitally encoded high band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Asked about VHF digital TV on a USA site & they say there's still a few VHF TX's left on high band, I understand most areas are now UHF only like it's been de-facto here in UK since the early 70's. When I was in Miami & watching low bad VHF TV on channels 2, 4 & 6 it was like the old 405 line days with ignition interference from passing motor bikes.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
