What are MARS
frequencies?
Frequencies
are military frequencies assigned for MARS use throughout the High
Frequency (HF) spectrum and selected frequencies in the VHF band.
Because Amateur Radio equipment is limited to operation in the Amateur
bands, minor modifications are needed to work the MARS frequencies.
Many MARS frequencies lie close to the Amateur bands but never inside
the Amateur frequencies.
