FM Terminology

The term "FM band" is effectively shorthand for "frequency band in which FM is used for broadcasting". This term can upset purists because it conflates a modulation scheme with a range of frequencies.

The term "VHF" (Very High Frequency) was previously[citation needed] in common use in Europe. "UKW", which stands for Ultrakurzwellen (ultra short wave) in German, is still widely used in Germany, as is "UKV" (Ultrakortvåg) in Sweden and "UKF" (Ultrakrótkie fale) in Polish.
