Measurement of MARK/SPACE Frequencies
The SPACE and the MARK frequencies are measured during the initial part of the DSC call.
The measurements are done by means of a time measurement on an AF signal (1700 Hz +/- 85
Hz) derived from the MF/RF MARK/SPACE signal.
The time measurements for MARK and SPACE respectively are converted to frequency and the
calculated values are added to an offset frequency for the actual MF/HF frequency. By adding
the offset frequency to the measured/calculated frequencies the actual MF/HF MARK/SPACE
frequencies are obtained.
The AF signal used for calculation of the MARK/SPACE frequencies has to be within 1615 +/-15
Hz and 1785 +/-15 Hz respectively to be accepted.

Receive ATIS
In RECEIVE ATIS mode keying of an ATIS equipped VHF on CH 6 or CH 15 will enable the test
box to receive and display the station’s ID. The data will be stored in the test box memory
accordingly.
