Indication: 
    the wavelength and the band code character is indicated; 
    In the case where two bands should be encoded, these should be separated by a comma. 
  Unit : m 
  resolution: 0.01 m 
Format: 
 V.VV-B 
 V.VV-B,V.VV-B 
 'VV.VV' encodes the value of wavelength. 
 'B' encodes the band; 
    each separated by a hyphen ('-') 
Example: 
    the radar transponder beacon wavelength '3cm (X) - Band' is indicated as '0.03-X' 
Remarks: 
    The attribute 'radar transponder beacon wavelength' encodes the specific wavelength at which 
a radar 
  transponder beacon transmits. 
    Radar transponder beacons generally work on the following wavelengths: 
    - 3cm (X) - Band 
    - 10cm (S) - Band 
    Nevertheless, wavelengths outside the marine band are used.
