Re: Channels and Frequencies
Exfiller, I'm not the expert at this, and others on this forum are. But, since no-one else is answering, I'll try to help out.
Q1 - yes.
Q2 - there is room for only two channels between frequencies.
Further explanation - due to rounding errors, channels appear to be unevenly spaced on decimal radios. This table corrects the error in your assumptions:
Actual freq: --- Channel:
118.000-- --- 118.000
118.00833 --- 118.010
118.01667 --- 118.015
118.025-- --- 118.025
118.03333 --- 118.035
... and so on.
As you can see, channel 118.005 does not exist (if you dialled it into your flash new radio, the radio would remain tuned to freq 118.000).
Similarly 118.020 does not exist - if you tuned it in, you'd get frequency 118.01667 which is 118.015 in channelspeak.
