The “Digital” Channels are listed as AAR 307-AAR 487 use the same frequencies as the analog channels listed above, but have the Nexedge modulation scheme.
They range from 160.215 MHz (AAR 307) to 161.565 MHz (AAR 487) in 6.25 KHz steps. Very few receivers are currently capable of intercepting traffic on them, but I believe one can use a software defined radio as well.
