Band II is the range of radiofrequencies within thevery high frequency (VHF) part of theelectromagnetic spectrum from 87.5 to 108.0 megahertz (MHz).
Band II is primarily used worldwide forFM radio broadcasting.[1]
In the former Soviet Union and other countries-members ofOIRT, frequencies from 76 MHz to 100 MHz were designated for broadcast television usage.[2] Considering 8 MHz channel bandwidth used by the Russian analog television system (System D), the following television channels had been defined:
| Channel | Frequency Range |
|---|---|
| R3 | 76–84 MHz |
| R4 | 84–92 MHz |
| R5 | 92–100 MHz |
Broadcast television channels 1 and 2 are assigned toVHF I band, channels 6 to 12 are assigned toVHF III band.
Starting from the early 1990s, frequencies previously allotted to television channels 4 and 5 have been re-allocated for FM radio, thereby harmonizing it with the Western allocation for FM radio service.
Both Japan, System J and Australia, System B have also had analog TV channels situated within Band II.
