There are NO off-the-shelf 33cm radios on the amateur market, With a good antenna and feedline, it’s going to work quite well. However, if you can get a repeater up in the air This is not necessarily a disadvantage, as it results Objects that get in the way, cause the signal to bounce Signal can take different paths when propagating from a source to aĭestination. Is much more pronounced on this band than 440. Signals (just as 70 centimeters is faster than 2 meters) due to the extremely short wavelength.

It should be noted that cordless phones and wireless LAN products are Part 15 devices that just happen toīe operating on an older more established ISM (Part 18) band. The most popular was probably Lucent WaveLAN. It was also around this time that wirelessĬomputer networking was becoming a concept. Prior most of the cordless phone were operating in the 46 MHz region, but Phones started to appear on the lower and upper ends of the 900 MHz centimeterīand. Systems, and Government stations authorized in this band.Ībout 5 years after this chunk of spectrum was carved out, many cordless Not receiving any interference protection from automatic vehicle monitoring Users we need to be aware of as we may not cause harmful interference to, and Radiate only and do not receive therefore it is highly unlikely that you wouldĮver interfere with an ISM device. Part 18 ISM devices utilize RF energy for non-communicative purposes. This means hams can use the band as long as theyĪccepted interference from and did not cause interference to this primary user. The FCC allocated 902 toĩ28 MHz to ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) devices.Īs part of that proceeding, the band was also allocated to the Amateur Radio The 33 centimeter ham radio band was born in 1985.
