TM 1-1510-225-10 3C-40 Table 3C-3 lists the VHF NAV frequencies and corresponding DME channels. The frequency is listed across the top and down the left side of the table. This frequency matrix is used to determine the DME channel. For example, ILS-LOC frequency 108.30 MHz is DME channel 20, VOR frequency 114.70 MHz channel 94, etc. DME channels 1 through 126 listed in the table are the DME X channels. The DME Y channels can be determined from the table by adding 0.05 MHz to each of the 0. 1-MHz columns. For example, ILS-LOC frequency 108.35 MHz is DME channel 20Y, VOR frequency E 114.75 MHz is DME channel 94Y, etc. The 126X channels and 126Y channels total the 252 DME channels available. Table 3C-3.

NOTE: The unpaired channels (1-16 and 60-69) cannot be received. (3) Channel Selection.After the three VHF NAV frequencies are tuned, DME information from any of the three can be displayed on the IND-42A by sequentially pressing the CH button to call up T, 2, or 3. If one of the three channels has invalid data, dashes will be displayed. When DME data is valid, sequentially pressing the CH button on the IND-42A will display the NM and IDfor each of the three channels. (4) Normal Operation. (a) Select the three desired NAV frequencies as previously described. Use the CHbutton on the IND-42A to select the desired channel for display (1, 2, or 3). The numeric display will show the slant range distance from 0 to 300 nm. The distance is accurate to 0.1 nm and the display will show tenths of a mile from 0 to 199.9 nm, and 1-mile increments from 200 to 300 nm. The NM and IDannunciators will be illuminated and the alphanumeric display will show the station identifier. A 10 to 14 second memory in the DME-42 prevents dashes from being displayed if the received – signal is temporarily lost or weak. NOTE The maximum range of the DME-42 is 300 nm. The range capability of a DME is limited by aircraft altitude, obstructions suchas hills or mountains, and the curvature of the earth. DME slant range is the straight-line distance from the aircraft to the ground
