Narrative:
While at FL290 and IMC we got a TA at 1800 ft below us and decreasing separation. Next we got an RA to climb. We climbed to FL301 then descended back to FL290 when we got a clear of traffic message. We notified center and they said we should be on a different frequency. We made the switch and they said they had been trying to call us about a learjet at FL280. Center said everything was ok. Minimum separation noticed to be 100 ft.

Title: FLC OF AN MLG ACR ACFT DEVIATED FROM ASSIGNED ALT IN RESPONSE TO A TCASII RA.
Narrative: WHILE AT FL290 AND IMC WE GOT A TA AT 1800 FT BELOW US AND DECREASING SEPARATION. NEXT WE GOT AN RA TO CLB. WE CLBED TO FL301 THEN DSNDED BACK TO FL290 WHEN WE GOT A CLR OF TFC MESSAGE. WE NOTIFIED CTR AND THEY SAID WE SHOULD BE ON A DIFFERENT FREQ. WE MADE THE SWITCH AND THEY SAID THEY HAD BEEN TRYING TO CALL US ABOUT A LEARJET AT FL280. CTR SAID EVERYTHING WAS OK. MINIMUM SEPARATION NOTICED TO BE 100 FT.
