Motorola Trunked Systems on Navy Ships

[Steve]

I am looking for a list/roster for Navy ships that use Motorola Trunked systems (if one exists). Something like the one for Navy ships using MaCom/EDACS systems. I saw a list/roster for Motorola equipped ships once (can't remember where). I called myself searching for it but I probably haven't looked in the right place.

If not on MA/Com list, most use Motorola 400 system, though some use EDACS Standard. I live 9 miles (mostly across water) from Norfolk NavBase and rarely hear an unknown EDACS control but do pick up several unknown Motorola 400 control channels. Like those on MA/Com, the signals are very low.

Check the Suffolk County page in Massachusetts for a list of several. I randomly selected USS O'Bannon & USS Ramage, and found the frequencies used are the same but spacing in the custom table is different. Those in Norfolk are similar.

Thanks for the information, Frank.
I got curious after watching the PBS show "Carrier" featuring the Nimitz.
I thought I had seen a roster similar the http://www.macom-wireless.com/hydra/roster.asp one somewhere but I probably got mixed up (getting easier to do lately).

Watching hour 7 right now, brings back memories in 1958 and again in 60. We called it controlled crash.

I have been watching it too and admiring the nice MRK Bricks.

I finally have listened to a 380-400 Mhz Hydra system this past week.
I'm more of a Motorola person, so I was not able to get the LCN Order, but
did find that the system was monitorable with a Conventional Scanner.

I recently submitted the info for the USS Bataan

Has anyone submitted their US Navy info to RR , other than me?
