Beginning with RCC 106-17, the appendixes that were previously stand-alone documents are now integrated with the chapters that cover the same material. This does not include four appendixes that are retired but maintained for historical purposes; these four remain stand-alone files and are renamed as annexes. The following lists new locations for the appendixes.

APPENDIXES
Appendix A - Frequency Considerations for Telemetry Chapter 2, Appendix 2-A
Appendix B - Use Criteria for Frequency Division Multiplexing Chapter 3, Appendix 3-A
Appendix C - PCM Standards (Additional Information and Recommendations) Chapter 4, Appendix 4-A
Appendix D - Magnetic Tape Recorder and Reproducer Information and Use Criteria Annex A.2
Appendix E - Deleted (Available Transducer Documentation) none
Appendix F - Continuously Variable Slope Delta Modulation Chapter 5, Appendix 5-A
Appendix G - ADARIO Data Block Field Definitions Annex A.3
Appendix H - Application of the Telemetry Attributes Transfer Standard Chapter 9, Appendix 9-A
Appendix I - Telemetry Attributes Transfer Standard Cover Sheet Chapter 9, Appendix 9-B
Appendix J - Telemetry Attributes Transfer Standard Format Example Chapter 9, Appendix 9-C
Appendix K - Pulse Amplitude Modulation Standards Annex A.1
Appendix L - Asynchronous Recorder Multiplexer Output Reconstructor (ARMOR) Annex A.4
Appendix M - Properties of the Differential Encoder Specified in IRIG Standard 106 for OQPSK Modulations Chapter 2, Appendix 2-B
Appendix N - Telemetry Transmitter Command and Control Protocol Chapter 2, Appendix 2-C
Appendix O - Floating Point Formats Chapter 9, Appendix 9-D
Appendix P - Derived Parameter Specification Chapter 9, Appendix 9-E
