Which frequency is within the General Class portion of the 75 meter phone band?

1875 kHz
3750 kHz
3900 kHz
4005 kHz

The correct answer is: 3900 kHz

The frequency of 3900 kHz is indeed within the General Class portion of the 75-meter phone band. The 75-meter band, also known as the 3.7 MHz to 4.0 MHz allocation, includes various segments that are designated for different modes of communication, including phone (voice) operations. The General Class license allows for phone operation in this frequency range, and 3900 kHz is positioned well within that spectrum. The other options, such as 1875 kHz and 3750 kHz, either fall outside the designated phone segment for General Class operators or correspond to lower frequency allocations, which are typically reserved for other classes or modes, such as CW (continuous wave) operation. 4005 kHz is also a valid frequency but lies at the upper edge of the 75-meter band and is typically associated with Extra Class operators, making 3900 kHz the correct choice for General Class usage.
