Most of these frequencies can be found elsewhere and are well known. The signifiance of the channel designations an the terms PRA and MII-MIII are unclear. More works needs to be done, but M probably stands for "meter-band". This is evident from a catalog from NPO-IT in which units are described as working in the meter band which is designated MI-MII-MIII and in the "decimeter-band" which is designated DI,DII or DIV. PRA probably stands for , i.e. "Receiving and recording equipment".
Tral is the very early telemetry system used on i.a. the R-7 missile and Sputnik-3.
