Common VHF Frequencies
In the US the civil aircraft communications band (118-137 MHz) generally uses 25 kHz spaced channels.
As of 2010 aeronautical enroute and flight test stations may use 8.33 kHz spaced channels in the 121.4-123.6, 128.825-132.0 and 136.5-136.875 MHz ranges.

ARINC En Route Service
The ARINC En Route Service is available to aircraft above 20,000 feet and on the ground at select airports. Base is "San Francisco Radio" except on Gulf Net, Maritime Net and Mex Net which are "New York Radio."
