The 2-meter band centered around 144-148 MHz is the most popular VHF band for ham radio operators, especially those just getting started with a Technician class license. This band supports local repeater communications, which extend the range of handheld radios from a few miles to 50 miles or more. Many new amateur radio (Deals) enthusiasts begin with an inexpensive handheld transceiver on 2 meters before exploring the HF bands.
