Just out of curiosity: In Europe UHF refers to frequencies above 300 MHz and
243 MHz would be VHF. Is that notion different in the US? Not that it makes
a difference ....

Bjarke, in the "Aircraft World" Vhf stops at 136Mhz and Uhf starts
at 200Mhz. This has been their convention since the days just before
WWII. Also In the Aircraft World, all comms are done on AM for VHF,
mostly AM for UHF, and SSB for MF/HF. another Holdover from the early
days of Aviation Radio........
