Here's the US Government chart (Navy) of spectrum designations:

Actually it looks worldwide but the US portion seems to be closest to what Amateurs use...

When I refer to 1296 or 1268.. I think 1.2gig, not a Letter like S, X, K, what have you.
I need a little help or a link to a list that breaks down what band is L/S/U/K/V/ ect.
I looked on the amsat page.. but could not find anything.
In time ill memorize it.. but when trying to think of future plans for my station and doing my research.. the use of both is so common.. its
confusing
trying to figure out my needs.
Thanx!
