SINCGARS Frequency Hopping operates in which frequency band?

• A. UHF Band
• B. VHF-LOW (30.0000 to 87.9750 MHz)
• C. VHF High Band
• D. Satcom frequency

Answer: (B)

SINCGARS Frequency Hop operates in the VHF low band, specifically 30.0000 to 87.9750 MHz. This FHSS approach spreads the signal across many channels within that band to provide resistance to jamming and interception, while keeping the radios compact and suitable for infantry use with ground-to-ground, line-of-sight links. The other bands listed—UHF, VHF high, or satellite frequencies—lie outside SINCGARS’ hopping range and are not used for its standard FH operation.
