AN/ARC-1A mod1 TACAN radio

Description
This is a TACAN(TacticalAirNavigation) radio. It is meant to be used by aircraft, although it can be used for any creation. It outputs 2 nodes, one distance, and one bearing. It provides the mentioned data between itself and another TACAN radios. It can use a total of 258 channels, 129 in the X band and 129 in the Y band. It has 2 modes of operation, in XMIT it serves as a beacon for other TACAN radios to find its location, and in RECV it tries to find a TACAN radio broadcasting on the set channel. It also uses altitude for range calculations, so it always provides the most accurate range information possible. You can also set a prefix code, so your already existing radio channels are not going to be interfered with.

Pros:
-Quick navigation between vehicles, and beacons.
-Low power consumption, so you can leave it inside something you want to recover later
-Centimeter and decimal degree precise math.
-Easy to install and use.
-Transmitter and receiver inside the same controller.
-Node outputs for 3rd party avionics.

Cons:
-The screen is heavy.
-Relatively big microcontroller(2x6)

You're free to use the AN/ARC-1A system in your creations, and you can freely updload them to the Workshop as long as you give proper credit. If you have any sorts of problems please PM me. Any kind of critique is welcome in the comments.
