REMOTE CONTROL MODEL FREQUENCY CHART
REMOTE CONTROL MODEL FREQUENCY CHART
By: Don McClatchie
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) specifies the RF frequencies and spectrum that remote-control models can operate on. Operators who use frequencies in the Amateur Radio (HAM) Band must have an appropriate license to use those frequencies. There are other Amateur Radio Service (ARS) available and are regulated by the FCC. Some bands are for Model Aircraft and others of for Land Craft only. The Land Craft frequencies are more likely to be interfered with by other services. Here are some of the frequencies and bands that are used.
27 MHZ Band: Not recommended for Aircraft subject to CB interference.
26.995 MHz 27.095 MHz 27.195 MHz
27.045 MHz 27.145 MHz 27.255 MHz
49 MHz Band: Not recommended for Aircraft limited range 100 Milliwatts.
49.830 MHz 49.860 MHz 49.890 MHz
49.845 MHz 49.875 MHz
50 MHz Band: 6 Meter license required Technician or above.
