List of Decca frequencies

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of Decca frequencies indicates the frequencies of the main and secondary transmitters of the 63 possible Decca chains of the Decca navigation system , as well as the basic frequency of the respective Decca chain.

Example: the main transmitter of the "English chain" (5B) transmits at 85,000 kHz (field with a yellow background).

In each column the frequency increases by 180 Hz (+/- 5 Hz) per line. In each row, the frequency increases by 5 Hz per column, but the frequency increases by 80 Hz between columns C and D. There are a total of 63 different frequencies for the main channels. Decca chains that are far apart and therefore cannot be received at the same time can use the same frequency.
