Mil-Air Freq's

[DLeeHarley]

Hello Idaho! I'm looking for any Mil-Air freq's That I can receive here in the Treasure Valley. I have loads of freq's entered into my Pro-97 but I haven't had any luck. Except once when I saw a couple of A-10's circling, I heard some pilot to pilot chatter. Buts thats all I've heard in about a year and a half! Any help would be & will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hope this helps out.

To be more successful in the milair game, an external antenna is almost a must. Something along a discone or scantenna, mounted nice and high, with good coax (no I don't mean that junk RS sells...).

Most duckies are great for stuff nearby, but fall short when you try to do anything that's a good distance away

Now for additional freqs - I'd look at the UHF ARTCC freqs for Salt Lake City and Seattle (depending on where you are...). Unfortunately the info in our database is pretty dated, so a question in the Washington and Utah forums might be in order, but here are the links to our database...(always ignore the FAA listings- they're frequently out of date...)

The IdaScan and NWScan Yahoo groups might also be a source of info. They're linked here...

Hey thanks for all your replies. I will try and utilize them all! And especially the info from ka3jjz. You seem to come thru for me a lot! LOL And I appreciate all your information. I've been thinking along the lines of adding an external antenna and been trying to figure out the best location for it. So I guess it's time to start studying up on the subject. Which one would you suggest the discone or Scantenna? Again thanks all for all your help.

Either one would be good but, I think most guys would tell you the "Scantenna" is better!
