Frequency  Lists (TAFL)

Frequency lists for radio systems in Canada

 

These Canadian frequency lists use the metric system. Therefore all linear measurements, for example, are expressed in metres or kilometres.  All geographical coordinates are in the NAD27 standard.

Information on the frequency assignments to the Department of National Defence or to our security agencies, is not included in the lists.  These exclusions represent approximately 6% of the lists.

All compressed data files (.zip) must be decompressed after having been downloaded before attempting to view or use the data.  Additional instructions are provided in the Help page.

Previous and current changes made to the frequency data files are detailed in the What's New page.

Most of the data files are updated every month.  The date of the last update of each data file is indicated in red characters YYYY/MM/DD.

ON-LINE searches of TAFL are available at the Spectrum Direct web site:   Spectrum Direct
