This can be interpreted by noting that the ASCII ‘E’ corresponds with 45h, + 30h = 75h, converted to decimal equals 117 for the MHz portion of the command. The kHz portion converts ASCII ‘4’ to 34h, 30h = 4h, x 25 kHz steps = 100 kHz.

Example message: $PMRRV29G4M This example command would set the standby VOR frequency to 119.100 MHz. This is interpreted by noting that the ASCII ‘G’ corresponds with 47h, + 30h = 77h, converted to decimal equals 119 for the MHz portions.
