What is the 6m radio? And all the frequencies can be used for hams? Not exactly. The 6-meter band is a 50MHz frequency band. In the US and Canada, 50MHz-54MHz is the amateur band, but in some countries, this band can only be used for Military communication, and in other countries, the frequency band is used for TV. In the UK, it is valid for hams to work on 50-52MHz, and they always work on the 50-51MHz.
The US and Canada 6m hams can also use for RC, here are the RC channels and the max power is 1W.
| Channel | Frequency |
| 00 | 50.80 |
| 01 | 50.82 |
| 02 | 50.84 |
| 03 | 50.86 |
| 04 | 50.88 |
| 05 | 50.90 |
| 06 | 50.92 |
| 07 | 50.94 |
| 08 | 50.96 |
