Which 23 cm frequency is authorized to a Technician Class operator license?

The 23 cm band, which is part of the microwave portion of the radio spectrum, is designated for amateur radio use, and specifically for Technician Class licensees, the frequency of 1296 MHz falls within this band. The 23 cm band ranges from 1240 MHz to 1300 MHz, making 1296 MHz an authorized frequency.

This frequency is significant because it supports various modes of communication, including SSB and digital modes, thereby providing a versatile platform for amateur radio operators to explore.

The other frequencies listed fall outside the range permitted for Technician Class operators on the 23 cm band. For example, 2315 MHz is too high for Technician licensees, and both 3390 MHz and 146.52 MHz are not associated with the 23 cm band, with the latter being part of the 2 meter band. This makes 1296 MHz the correct choice for a Technician Class operator in the context of the 23 cm band.
