Airborne DME equipment is able to discriminate between pulses intended for itself and pulses K2

A VOR/DME share the same first two letters of their respective identifiers; the last identifying K2

letter of the DME is a Z. This means that:

they are more they are widely

A DME receiver is able to distinguish between replies to its own interrogations and replies to K1
9.
other aircraft because:

11 K2
For a DME and a VOR to be said to be associated it is necessary for:
.

both beacons to
the DME to the aerial the aerial

two letters for their
a) the same VHF b) exceed 100 ft in a c) exceed 100 m in a d)

13 K1
The receiver of airborne DME equipment is able to “lock on” to its own “reply pulses” because:
