RMP VHF Spacing
- Changes the spacing for selectable frequencies in the RMPs from 8.33kHz to 25kHz and vice versa.
Channel Spacing (click to expand)
Aircraft radio systems transmit on a Very High Frequency (VHF) band between 117.975 and 137 MHz. The number of available VHF assignments has increased over the years by splitting the radio spectrum into narrower bandwidths from 50-kHz to 25-kHz channels. The bandwidth can support 760 channels, if channels are spaced by 25 kHz. In 1994, it was decided to introduce a further channel split from 25 to 8.33 kHz. 8.33-kHz spacing was introduced above Flight Level (FL) 240 in International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) European (EUR) regions in October 1999 and above FL 195 from March 15, 2007. Currently, 8.33-kHz channels have been implemented in the airspace of all 20 ICAO EUR region states. So far, Europe is the only region that’s moved to 8.33-kHz channel spacing.
