These frequencies have been adopted into the bandplans of each IARU region to be a focus for emergency communications in their areas. They are not 'absolute' frequencies but instead are 'centres of activity' and emergency communications may be found ±20kHz from these centres. Some countries may maintain other emergency frequencies in their own bandplans due to local requirements, QRM etc. Region 1 Region 2 Region 3 3760 3750 or 3985 3600 7110 7060, 7240 or 7275 7110 14300 14300 14300 18160 18160 18160 21360 21360 21360
