        TACAN has 126 X and 126 Y channels.  Normally only X channels
        are used, unless crowded.  TACAN frequencies are tied to VOR
        frequencies.  (Note: there are more TACAN frequencies than
        VOR frequencies, some are blanked around the ATCRBS Beacon 
        frequencies, and others are for expansion and military use).
        Pulse widths are 3.5 microseconds.  Aircraft sounds like a Top
        Fuel Dragster or Funny Car when searching for lock-on.

        Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS - "At Crabs",
        Secondary Radar - to the British)
 
        1030 MHz        Ground Interrogations to Transponder
        1090 MHz        Transponder Replies to Ground
 
        There are currently five interrogation modes in use:
 
        Mode 1, 2 pulses spaced 3 microseconds   [Military]
        Mode 2, 2 pulses spaced 5 microseconds   [Military]
        Mode 3/A, 2 pulses spaced 8 microseconds [Military/Civilian]
        Mode 4, encrypted, IFF                   [Military]
        Mode C, 2 pulses spaced 21 microseconds  [Military/Civilian]
 
        A third pulse is also included in all modes (except 4) at
        2 microseconds from the first.  This is the sidelobe pulse.
        if it's within @6 dB of the first pulse (or greater) the
        transponder doesn't reply (as it has detected an antenna
        sidelobe).  Pulse widths are .8 microseconds.
 
        The reply is two framing pulses spaced 20.3 microseconds apart,
        with 13 code pulses (0000 - 7777 Octal) and an X pulse at the
        center which is not used anymore).  A fourth pulse (called SPI
        pulse (Special Position Identifier) is used to identify your
        position when asked by a controller to "Squawk Ident", it is
        4.35 microseconds after the last framing pulse and lasts for
        20 seconds (about 2 scans of a long range radar). Pulse widths
        are .45 microseconds.
 
        1575.42 MHz is the Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS)
        frequency L1, and 1227.6 MHz is L2.

        NOTES - continued

 

        **  These digital frequencies are coordinated by the MRC Repeater  Fre-

        quency  Coordinator  as they are shared with existing  voice  auxiliary

        links. Contact your local packet liaison person or the MRC repeater frequency

        coordinator for details

       

        1)  The above band plan comes from the band plan published in the  ARRL

        Repeater  Directory (Page 45 & 46 of the 1995-1996 issue) and  is  fol-

        lowed  by  the Minnesota Repeater Council (MRC) in  the  activities  of

        their appointed Repeater Frequency Coordinator.

       

        2) Per FCC rule 97.205 (b) a repeater station or auxiliary station  MAY

        NOT  operate in the 431.000 to 433.000 Mhz and 435.000 to  438.000  Mhz

        area of this band.

       

        3) Operation "North of Line A" on 420.000 to 430.000 MHz IS NOT ALLOWED

        in northern Minnesota.

 

        4)  Digital  operations  on simplex frequencies on this  band  ARE  NOT

        frequency  coordinated by any party in the state of Minnesota.  Use  of

        normal FM voice repeater frequencies by FULL DUPLEX digital stations or

        digital stations operating on auxiliary link frequencies are coordinated

        by the MRC Repeater Frequency Coordinator. A digital signal  cannot

        exceed 100 Khz in width with a maximum baud rate of 56K baud.

       

        5) The use of CTCSS or other means to protect all receivers is  encouraged

        on all paired and non-paired frequencies coordinated by  the  MRC

        Repeater  Frequency Coordinator. See the MRC CTCSS frequency  plan  for

        details.

 

        6)  As  a  lot of the frequencies in this band  are  shared  between

        multiple  uses, it is important that FCC rule 97.101 be followed. This rule

        states  that:

        

        (b) "Each station licensee and each control operator must cooperate  in

                                selecting transmitting channels and in making the most effective use of

                                the amateur service frequencies.  No frequency will be assigned for the

                                exclusive use of any station".

NOTE:  Be careful when using the 433 & 434 Mhz auxiliary link frequencies for 2 meter repeaters, located in the 145 Mhz part of 2 meters, as some of the 144 & 145 Mhz frequencies have a 3rd harmonic at 433 & 434 Mhz..

Note:  25 Khz steps will be assigned first.  12.5 Khz offsets will be assigned with 50 mile spacing between users on adjacent 25 Khz spaced frequencies.  The exception is if the same user is assigned the 25 khz frequency on each side of the 12.5 Khz offset frequency, then the user on the 25 khz channels can use the 12.5 Khz in the same area as the 25 Khz  frequencies are used. (should only interfere with himself).

 

Digital (packet radio only) frequencies  (simplex) (25 Khz matrix-due to signal bandwidth)

   

         446.025, 446.050, 446.100, 446.125, 446.150, 446.175,  446.200  

       

NOTE: 446.025 Mhz shared with FM voice simplex (as it is right next to the National Simplex frequency), so use other frequencies first.

 

Recommended simplex 440 Mhz frequencies  (Simplex or remote base) ( 12.5 Khz matrix)

 

        446.000, 446.0125, 446.025, 445.975, 445.9875

 

NOTE: The additional simplex frequencies beyond 446.000 Mhz are recommended only for use in the State of Minnesota.  Check with other states for additional simplex frequencies in use there.
