A band is a contiguous segment of the radio frequency spectrum. For example, the 2 meter band, the most widely used VHF amateur radio band, extends from 144 to 148 MHz (megahertz). (Megahertz are a measurement of frequency.) Bands can overlap; for example, VHF itself is the band of frequencies from 30 to 300 MHz.
