That's not true at all. Link 16 signal basically looks like noise and you'd be lucky to find it at all.
Link- 16 uses the Time-Division Multiple Access (TDMA) principle of data communications. Using this architecture with time interlacing provides the system with multiple and apparently simultaneous communications nets. Instead of assigning each unit a PU number, Link-16 assigns each unit a JTIDS Unit number, or JU. The JU identifies the units and determines a preassigned set of time slots that designate when the unit transmits and receives data. Each time slot is 1/128 of a second, or 7.8125 milliseconds, in duration. When a JU transmits data, the frequency that the data is transmitted on is changed every 13 microseconds (µsec), according to a predetermined pseudo-random pattern. Link-16 uses 51 different frequencies for data exchange. This frequency hopping adds to the security and integrity of the system by making it nearly impossible to jam.

I believe the 22 is being upgraded to Tx, I'll try and find the ref.
