Can VOR receivers read TACAN?

Per the Canada Flight Supplement, DME frequencies are paired to TACAN X and Y DME frequencies to allow DME receivers to use the DME functions of TACAN not co-located with a VOR. See below.

The certified DME receiver in your plane will take care of the part of TACAN that needs emitting.

You can’t tune a civilian DME to all TACAN channels. Those channels are missing from chflyer’s table.

I learned something today. A quick search engine search indeed gives a table which shows how many are missing.
