SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Finding specific radio frequencies, understanding band plans, and identifying active stations can be complex and require searching multiple sources. This skill centralizes common frequency information, saving you time and effort in your radio exploration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Band Plan Reference: Provides quick access to frequencies for VHF Marine, Aviation, NOAA Weather, FM Broadcast, and Amateur Radio.
  • Online Resource Links: Directs users to comprehensive databases like RadioReference.com and Airnav.com for deeper dives.
  • Use Case: You want to monitor local air traffic control. Use this skill to quickly find the typical frequency ranges for tower, ground, and ATIS, and then use Airnav.com to pinpoint your local airport's specific frequencies.

Quick Start

Use the frequency-lookup skill to find the emergency frequency for aviation and the main distress channel for VHF marine.

Frequently Asked Questions about frequency-lookup

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find radio frequencies for aviation, marine, and weather monitoring?▼

Radio frequencies vary by service and region. This skill provides quick reference band plans for aviation tower and ATIS, VHF marine distress and working channels, NOAA weather broadcasts, FM broadcast, and amateur radio allocations, with links to RadioReference.com and Airnav.com for location-specific details.

What are band plans and why do I need them for radio monitoring?▼

Band plans define which frequencies are allocated to specific radio services within designated ranges. They're essential for SDR monitoring, verifying legal channel allocations, identifying active stations, and planning your monitoring setup without scanning blind.

Can I use this skill to find frequencies for SDR monitoring and WaveCap integration?▼

Yes. The skill supports WaveCap-SDR integration via YAML recipes and provides predefined band plans and channel mappings applicable to marine, aviation, amateur, and NOAA services, enabling you to configure SDR monitoring scenarios directly.

How do I locate emergency and distress frequencies for aviation and marine radio?▼

Aviation emergency frequency is 121.5 MHz; maritime distress uses VHF Channel 16 (156.8 MHz). This skill provides these critical frequencies and standard band plan ranges for tower, ground, and ATIS monitoring, plus marine working channels.

Does frequency data account for country-specific radio allocations and regulations?▼

Yes. The skill relies on up-to-date regulatory data with country-specific considerations, ensuring band plans and allocations reflect local rules for aviation, marine, amateur, and broadcast services.

What's the difference between using this skill versus manually searching RadioReference.com?▼

This skill centralizes common frequencies and band plans instantly, saving time on repetitive lookups. It complements deeper research by directing you to RadioReference.com and Airnav.com when you need comprehensive or location-specific data beyond quick reference.
