FRQ file format details:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the FRQ files:

FRQ is seldom used as a file extension and has no uniform or dominant file format. The two most popular formats are as follows:

15% of all FRQ files are based on the popular UTF-8 file format. UTF-8 is the World Wide Web's most common character encoding for Unicode. UTF-8 files can be viewed with any text editor. These files start with the 3 bytes ï»¿ (hex: EF BB BF), the so called byte order mark (BOM). These files are plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. The files are often between 1 MB and 41 MB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. Application C, Input Data, Type BATCH, Date, Input Data C, Start Time and countries. Files like these have the following tags: iamr.
15% of all FRQ files belong to FREQ0003 frequency data. They consist of unreadable binary data. A typical file size is 1 KB. The following keywords are characteristic: FREQ0003. A usual file name is -_wav.frq or a_wav.frq.

All other FRQ files (70%) have no consistent format, frequently e.g. MAGNOLIA and ISSA. Files like these are sometimes linked to channel, table or etbr. If you want to find out what your FRQ file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
