GunnersMate all active sonar has a frequency, most Helos are in the 10-14 K region, that is how you distinguish between Aircraft and Surface.
Surface craft sonar will run between 1200 and 18200 and US subs have those frequencies stored in a Library for ID ing different sets.
Helos can go active on their dipping sonar, I have heard it many times, active sonar buoys also can be detected.
All I was asking has a chart been developed like the SCX Ping list that provided frequency and platforms, broken down into surface, air, and mined warfare, for use in DW? The frequencies could also be matched with a country.
Very useful when some one is pinging and you are picking it up on you active detector along with time rate, signal strength, and bearing. DW has an autocrew for this very useful piece of equipment.
