RV to RV or plane to plane conversation frequency
I know of one frequency and that being 122.75 for plane to plane. Are there any other frequencies that can be used?
That frequency gets busy with guys flying to their destination. Sometimes it's a little cumbersome trying to talk over each other 50 miles apart. Ron in Oregon RV9A Flying |
A lot of folks use 123.45 (aka Fingers).

I too use 123.45 - easy to remember, just like all my passwords! :D

123.45 is a FAA designated frequency
"for non-government flight test operations"

123.45
A lot of people use 123.45 but we really shouldn't.
An airport used it for communications during a fly-in and got a large fine. 908. SPECIAL USE OF 123.45 MHZ. Within the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, and United States possessions) 123.45 MHz is authorized to be used only for non-government flight test operations, not air-to-air communications. However, the frequency 123.45 MHz is designated as an air-to-air VHF communications frequency to enable aircraft engaged in flights over remote and oceanic areas out of range of VHF ground stations to exchange necessary operational information and to facilitate the resolution of operational problems. This special use is in compliance with ICAO Annex 10, Volume V, Section 4.1.3.2.1 https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Order/6050.32B%20Chg%201.pdf |
122.85 used to be listed as an alternate but I haven't looked in quite a while. 123.45 should not be used for air-to-air multi-com. It is a designated frequency for flight testing.

I know some use 123.57. I hear lots of people using 123.45 regularly.

Air to Air Frequency
Ron,
The FAA Airmens Information Manual (AIM) directs air to air frequency selection of specific VHF frequencies. See this link: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publ.../media/aim.pdf If 122.75 is too busy there are 3 other frequencies you could use that are not in use by the FAA. The table below from page 4-1-7 of the AIM describes which frequencies are allowed for communication plane to plane: ![]() |
