A high frequency (HF) frequency-management system for automatically selecting optimum HF frequency. A frequency management means controls the operation of a regular HF radio communications transmitter and receiver at each station. The frequency-management means transmits sounding signals synchronously and repeatedly over a finite group of HF frequencies, from a first radio communications station to a second radio communications station. Link quality evaluation (LQE) is carried out at the second station. Sounding signals are transmitted synchronously and repeatedly back to the first station. Optimum HF frequencies are selected based on the sounding signals and LQE. An HF communications path is automatically established between stations. The system performs the scanning of the HF frequencies, the detection and measurement of signals, noise and interferences on each frequency and the timing synchronization as required for the frequency management operation.
