Freeband 11 Meter Frequencies and Bands

While some export radios – sold as 10 meter radios – often cover frequencies above and below the 25.615-28.305 MHz range, that is the de facto “standard” export band alphanumeric plan. Generally the CB band is band “D” or the “mid band”. On 120-channel radios, coverage is generally limited to 26.515-27.855 MHz or 26.065-27.405 MHz, depending on the model. Modern Chinese export radios cover 25.615-30.105 MHz to include all of the 10 meter band and frequencies above it.

  • 27.855-28.305 MHz – Band F – up to 27.995 MHz (channel 11A) popular with taxicabs and truckers, although truckers are often heard above 28.000 MHz it is strongly advised that freebanders stay below 28 MHz

Most freeband operators use AM mode below CB channel 1 – the lower bands and SSB above CB channel 40 – the higher bands. There are several exceptions to this “gentleman’s rule” however.
