What is the wavelength range for the FM radio band (88MHz-108MHz)?

Answer 1

That's the frequency band that international telecommunications meetings and the FCC

decided to allocate to FM broadcast.

As a result of that decision, all FM broadcast stations in the US have carrier frequencies in that range.

If they applied for a license to broadcast on a frequency outside of that range, it wasn't granted,

and they soon got the idea.

The manufacturers of radios, being a pretty smart bunch, realized right away that if all of the

FM broadcast stations were on frequencies in that range, then they'd be smart to build their

products with the ability to receive FM broadcast in that range.

If you play around with a receiver that can receive frequencies outside that range, you'll hear

TV channel 6 between 82-88 MHz, and aircraft navigation and communication above 110 MHz.

Answer 2

If your three favorite FM stations were at 92,500 KHz, 101,300 KHz, and 105,900 KHz

on the radio dial, your radio would need a much larger dial.

Answer 3

88 MHz ==> 3.41 meters

108 MHz ==> 2.78 meters
