Which frequency is in the 12 meter band?

  1. 3.940 MHz

  2. 12.940 MHz

  3. 17.940 MHz

  4. 24.940 MHz

The correct answer is: 24.940 MHz

The 12 meter band, which is designated for amateur radio use, spans the frequencies from 24.890 MHz to 24.930 MHz. Within the options provided, 24.940 MHz falls within this range, making it the correct frequency that is part of the 12 meter band. The other options fall outside the specified range for the 12 meter band. For instance, 3.940 MHz is in the 80 meter band, 12.940 MHz is not a standard frequency associated with the amateur bands, and 17.940 MHz is in the 17 meter band. Knowing the specific frequency allocations for each amateur band helps in identifying the correct answer and ensures compliance with the regulations governing amateur radio operations.
