8.33kHz Radio Channels
A change to 8.33kHz voice channel spacing was mandated from 1st January 2019. This was to create more VHF channels - the new spacing allows for three times as many.
All club radios at Portmoak (Launch caravan, handhelds, gliders, tugs) have been replaced as have (hopefully) all radios in private gliders. The new channels are listed below - note that there is no change to the emergency channel, which remains 121.500kHz.
As a consequence ground station frequencies have changed. If your radio has programable pre-sets check they are now correct.
