TACAN2Frequency
| Environment: | Mission Scripting | |
|---|---|---|
| Function: | TACAN2Frequency | |
| Function Description: | Converts a TACAN channel number and mode ("X" or "Y") into the corresponding frequency in hertz. The calculation follows the DCS World TACAN beacon logic: for channels 1‑63 the base frequencies differ between X/Y modes, while for channels 64‑127 the base values shift accordingly. | |

| Return Value: | number or nil | |
| Parameters: | Name | Description |
| TACANChannel | The TACAN channel (must be a numeric value). | |
| TACANMode | Either "X" or "Y"; any other value returns nil. | |
| Example: | local freq = CMM.TACAN2Frequency(45, "X"); env.info("TACAN freq: "..tostring(freq)) | |
| Example Description: | Demonstrates converting channel 45 with mode "X" to its frequency and logging the result. | |
