Radio frequencies in the United Kingdom are allocated and managed by Ofcom, the communications regulator.

Ofcom manages the frequency ranges allocated for civilian use and the licencing service for all radio users, including amateurs and enthusiasts. Certain types of usage will require a licence from Ofcom.

The Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 and the Communications Act 2003 give Ofcom the responsibility for managing the UK spectrum of frequencies. Allocation of and alteration to frequencies worldwide is agreed upon at World Radio Conferences and incorporated into the Radio Regulations.

The most popular frequency ranges for amateur radio use in the UK are 144 to 146MHz and 430 to 440MHz.

Ofcom produces a Frequency Allocation Table for the UK (UKFAT), which explains the allocation of frequencies and which ones are available for civilian usage.
