Very modern receivers can estimate the distance towards a NDB station by the azimuth towards the station. | Very modern receivers can estimate the distance towards a NDB station by the azimuth towards the station. | ||
In the Americas the NDB's operate 530 kHz to 1700 kHz with 10 kHz increments. The rest of the world uses 531 kHz to 1602 kHz with 9 kHz increments. | In the Americas the navigational NDB's operate 530 kHz to 1700 kHz with 10 kHz increments. The rest of the world uses 531 kHz to 1602 kHz with 9 kHz increments. NDB's outside these ranges most probably serve also other purposes, like music stations or DGPS stations. | ||
The range of a typical NDB can be up to 75 NM. When using [[LFR]] the range can be bigger but less accurate. | The range of a typical NDB can be up to 75 NM. When using [[LFR]] the range can be bigger but less accurate. | ||
