What is the difference between VHF and UHF?
. Not much. They both work in the same way, but there are subtle differences, such as the ability to penetrate large, steel reinforced buildings. UHF would be best for applications like that. VHF gives a small amount of coverage range over UHF, this applies to rural areas, not metro areas. UHF, usually, has less interference from other channels. VHF radios do need larger antennas, which does not always work well on portable radios where size is limited.
