The 2-meter amateur radio band is a portion of the VHF radio spectrum, comprising frequencies stretching from 144 MHz to 148 MHz.  In most communities, the local Ham radio operators own and maintain repeaters on the 2-meter band, which assists their communications by increasing the distance that they can communicate with each other while still maintaining the quality of an FM transmission.==ARRL 2 Meter Band Plan==*144.00-144.05 EME (CW)*144.05-144.10 General CW and weak signals*144.10-144.20 EME and weak-signal SSB*144.200 National calling frequency*144.200-144.275 General SSB operation*144.275-144.300 Propagation beacons*144.30-144.50 New OSCAR subband*144.50-144.60 Linear translator inputs*144.60-144.90 FM repeater inputs*144.90-145.10 Weak signal and FM simplex (145.01,03,05,07,09 are widely used for packet)*145.10-145.20 Linear translator outputs*145.20-145.50 FM repeater outputs*145.50-145.80 Miscellaneous and experimental modes*145.80-146.00 OSCAR subband*146.01-146.37 Repeater inputs*146.40-146.58 Simplex*146.52 National Simplex Calling Frequency*146.61-146.97 Repeater outputs*147.00-147.39 Repeater outputs*147.42-147.57 Simplex*147.60-147.99 Repeater inputsThe frequency 146.40 MHz is used in some areas as a repeater input. This band plan has been proposed by the ARRL VHF-UHF Advisory Committee.
