Machrihanish VOR/DME (MAC) is on 116.0 MHz. To receive the DME element on a TACAN receiver, you need to set Channel 107.
However, the old MAZ TACAN used to be on Ch 107 before it was closed down and a DME incorporated into the MAC VOR system.
Now, according to my calculations, the location of MAZ (55:25:59N, 005:39:02W) was 275.2 deg True and 2.03 nm from the location of MAC (55:25:59N, 005:42:35W). So, if you read your distance as, say, 4 miles west of what you thought was MAZ, you would, in fact, be only 1.97 miles from where it used to be if you were actually tuned to the MAC VOR/DME.....
Is this relevant?
