 This tool calculates the best interference-free radio frequencies (UHF) within a TV channel (8 MHz grid). Only one TV channel is analyzed in isolation. Additional frequencies from other TV channels are **not** checked for compatibility. This tool calculates the best interference-free radio frequencies (UHF) within a TV channel (8 MHz grid).

 First use [[https://fmscan.org/locsearch.php?reset=1&r=t&m=s|fmscan.org]] to find out which TV channels (column "Ch") are not or only weakly occupied by DVB-T. Completely free channels do not appear in the list and are probably a good choice. Ideally, do not use two directly adjacent TV channels. First use [[https://fmscan.org/locsearch.php?reset=1&r=t&m=s|fmscan.org]] to find out which TV channels (column "Ch") are not or only weakly occupied by DVB-T.

 These can be mirrored within a TV channel. By default, the spacing increases with each higher frequency (increasing - ↑). This can be reversed (descending - ↓). This is recommended, for example, for a second set of frequencies to be used simultaneously. The second set should be as far away as possible from the first and use the descending frequency spacing instead of the ascending one. These can be mirrored within a TV channel.
