Command line & Python library for obtaining details about a radio frequency

Features

Returns information about a radio frequency (US only for now)

  • Band Use

  • Wavelength

  • ITU Band Description

  • ITU Band Abbreviation

  • ITU Band Number

  • IEEE Band Name

  • NATO Band Name

  • Waveguide Band Name

  • Amateur Radio Details (Type, Class, Max Power), - Not yet Implimented

Let me know if there is additional details you would like to see added, or if someone would like to donate some EU/Other band info to add ;-)

Usage

Frequency format examples: 89910000, 23,450,000, 12,634.534

Also supports “Radio Display” frequency representation (Dotted notation): 124.125.000, 198.000.050, 1.500.125.000

Suffix examples: hz, khz, Mhz, Ghz (Case Insensitive)

Command Line:

rf-info <frequency> [<suffix>]

Python:

from rf-info import Frequency

freq = Frequency(‘112.434.000’)

Then:

freq.info()

returns a dictionary:

{‘dial’: ‘144.125’, ‘hz’: (‘144,125 hz’, 144125), ‘khz’: (‘144.125 Khz’, 144.125), ‘mhz’: (‘0.144125 Mhz’, 0.144125), ‘ghz’: (‘0.000144125 Ghz’, 0.000144125), ‘wavelength’: ‘2,081m’, ‘band_use’: (), ‘itu_band’: ‘Low Frequency’, ‘itu_abbr’: ‘LF’, ‘itu_num’: 5, ‘ieee_band’: None, ‘ieee_description’: None, ‘nato_band’: ‘A’, ‘waveguide_band’: None, ‘amateur_band’: (False,)}

or you can get individual items directly:

freq.itu_band

freq.wavelength
