After over a decade absence, radio monitors once again have a single, exhaustive publication to help them identify radio signals on the various radio bands.
This new CD-ROM ebook from Teak Publications, has been expanded from the print first edition and covers various callsigns and other types of radio transmission IDs used throughout the HF, VHF and UHF radio bands.
This giant 1,100 page plus callsign reference uses the Adobe Acrobat platform. All text is fully searchable and can be printed by the user. The ten chapters in this book cover various identification types including internationally assigned callsigns (including ships), airline calls, ship and coastal maritime mobile service identification (MMSI) numbers, ALE addresses, selected aircraft selcals, selected ICAO24 aircraft codes, and introductory material. The single largest chapter of this book has an extensive listing of tactical call words and IDs used by civilian, military, and government agencies. This is a self-loading, easy-to-use CD-ROM ebook, and it is a must have for the active HF or scanner radio enthusiast.
