General Dynamics C4 Systems URC-200 (V2)

In a similar fashion, line 4 of the chart shows that the next available frequency is 118.0166 MHz.
This also is only allowed to have a channel spacing of 8.33 kHz. To operate at this setting, enter
118015 to the transceiver.
Lines 5 and 6 of the chart show that the process repeats at this point.
If the user attempts to enter a frequency that is not allowed, the transceiver will simply not accept
the input until a valid value is entered.

4.7.3.3 Tuning Increment vs. Channel Spacing, Electrical Characteristics
The “tuning increment” is the minimum incremental change in operating frequency by which a
transceiver is capable of tuning.
The “channel spacing” is the window (or the bandwidth in kHz) in which a tuned transceiver
operates, and represents the minimum acceptable adjacent channel separation. This window, or
bandwidth, is determined by the receiver’s adjacent channel rejection (selectivity or bandwidth)
and the transmitter’s adjacent channel power. Please refer to Table 1 for typical URC-200
performance parameters for both 25kHz and 8.33kHz channel spacings.
In the URC-200 (V2) without the ECS-8 option installed, the channel spacing (IF selectivity) is
fixed at 25kHz, regardless of whether the tuning increment is 5kHz, 12.5kHz or 25kHz.
