Only a few airfields with the funding to afford two radios seem to listen to the old frequencies parallel to the new channels ... Btw: what happened to the issue of portable 833s not allowed as base station on the ground?
Does anybody have a link, maybe Eurocontrol, to a complete list of current channels in use in Europe?
Did everything change in Europe on 1st January or is it going to be a gradual change as the UK are doing?
If it is gradual there will not be an up to date list until next year. In the UK most channels will be updated at about licence renewal time by NOTAM then appear in the AIP at the next cycle.
