In this edition of Service Search we feature a spectrum chart of VHF/UHF assignments used in Canada. Many thanks to Industrial Canada.

            If you want to search for a specific Canadian frequencies visit the Darkwing Duck website at http://neon.polkaroo.net/~darkwing/tafl/start.html. There is a search engine that has been developed available on this site that will search the Industry Canada Technical and Administrative Frequency Lists (TAFL) frequency database. Information on frequency assignments of the Department of National Defense or of Canadian security agencies are not included in the TAFL.
