Which range includes 50 MHz within the PRC 150 operating spectrum?

• A. 1.6-29.999 MHz
• B. 30-59.999 MHz
• C. 60-1000 MHz
• D. 0-1 MHz

Answer: (B)

Frequencies are divided into bands in the PRC-150’s operating spectrum, and you determine where a given frequency sits by finding the band whose boundaries surround it. Fifty megahertz sits above the lower portion of the spectrum and below the higher bands, placing it in the mid-VHF band that the radio uses for that range of frequencies. In practical terms, it lies in the band that spans roughly the range between the lower VHF start and the boundary before the next major shift to higher frequencies. That’s why the range covering that mid-VHF region is the one that includes 50 MHz. The other bands lie entirely below or above this frequency, so they don’t include it.
