The 2182 kHz frequency is in which band?

The 2182 kHz frequency is in which band?

• A. MF
• B. HF
• C. VLF
• D. SHF

Answer: (A)

Frequencies are grouped into bands by their numeric ranges, and 2.182 MHz sits in the middle-frequency band. Middle frequency spans roughly 300 kHz to 3 MHz, so 2.182 MHz falls squarely within this range. This band is known for ground-wave propagation along the Earth's surface and hosts services like AM broadcasting and maritime communications; 2182 kHz is a well-known MF frequency used for maritime calling/distress. Bands below 300 kHz cover VLF and LF, while bands above 3 MHz start with HF, so 2.182 MHz is not in those other bands.
