DME operates on frequencies 1050-1200Mhz if my memory serves me correctly. The interrogate and reply frequencies are separated by 63Mhz.

Channels X & Y are not related to the frequency but to the pulse spacing of the interrogation and reply pulse pairs. Ch X is 12 microseconds and Y is 36uS for aircraft interrogation and 30uS on ground equipment reply .
