TElEMETRY CHANNElS
ACMA regulations have allocated channels 22 and 23 for telemetry
only applications and have prohibited the transmission of speech
on these channels. Consequently the TX655 has a transmit‑inhibit
applied to channels 22 and 23.
In the event that additional telemetry/telecommand channels are
approved by the ACMA, these channels shall be added to those
currently listed where voice transmission is inhibited. Currently
transmissions on channels 61, 62 and 63 are also inhibited and these
channels are reserved for future allocation.
