Talk:C band

Complaints
A quote from a contributor to slashdot, "not only inflammatory but factually incorrect: 'This contrasts with direct broadcast satellite, which is a completely closed system used to deliver subscription programming to small satellite dishes connected to proprietary receiving equipment ' Note this anecdotal comment that the author had evidently pulled out of thin air:  'Service is generally spotty and expensive, but it generally superior to dial-up service and is often the only option.'

Band definition
From my understanding, C-band is from 4-8 GHZ - which is different from what the article states. My info comes from "Radar Principles" by Peyton Z. Peebles, Jr. Page 20. Published by John Wiley and sons, Inc. 1998


 * A previous revision of this article agreed with that, but the article evidently has a copyright violation issue. —Fleminra 21:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Palapa C band receive frequency is not 6.425-6.725 GHz. It is 3.400 - 3.700 GHz. The table is copied from a link that on the page shows the correct information but not on the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.123.22.22 (talk) 14:30, 16 August 2007‎ (UTC)

good day everyone
Hy gays, I'm second mate on the ro-ro fleet, and i have russian crew on board but i can't find for them russian radio frequince, maybe somebody knows about that? thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.122.23.91 (talk) 02:44, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Cordless Phones
In the preamble, the article states that C-Band is used by cordless phones, but the link points to mobile (cellular) phones. Anyone know which of these is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.23.126.147 (talk) 01:51, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Electromagnetic spectrum
The page states 'electromagnetic spectrum' and 'microwaves' as if they were two different things. Microwaves ARE part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so this statement is nonsense and should be removed. This is middle school physics stuff. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.115.127.130 (talk) 23:24, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Proposed merger
I do not support the proposed merger of C band and 5 centimeter band. The two topics do not have the same scope. C band is about a larger swath of spectrum, in a similar manor as SHF. 5 centimeter band is about a specific amateur radio band, and I see potential for it to expand into a longer standalone article of similar length to other amateur radio band articles. –Sparkgap (talk) 04:12, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Lets keep them separate. The meanings are not the same, and there would be enough material to support the narrower topic. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:51, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm removing the merger tags. –Sparkgap (talk) 02:57, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Wavelength, anyone ?
Isn't it between 3.75 and 7.5 cm ? --Jerome Potts (talk) 17:24, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Split
IEEE C band and NATO C band have nothing in common except the title; wavelengths are 10x different. fgnievinski (talk) 02:05, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
