Austin ABIA App/Dep @ 119.000 MHz FM?

[VintageJon]

Tried to get the ABAI Approach / Departure freqs programmed. Found 119.000 and put it into my Pro96. I get it, but it sounds a bit "off-freq."

Any ideas out there?

THANKS,
Jon

First off, try putting it in AM mode. I show 119.000 is the East Approach/Departure and 118.800 is West Approach /Departure 121.000 is East Tower and 118.225 is West Tower.

I was impressed with the 395T the last time we got together for BBQ over at Pokey Joe's. It's gonna be a battle between that and the 500 GRE when the 700MHz thing really hits.

Thanks fer your thinking of my RS addiction... (ROFLOL...)

pacrat551:
you are of course CORRECT, Sir! It occured to me after I went to bed last night that Hey-dummy-Aircraft-Band-is-AM-not-FM!!!! Boy do I feel stupid as I knew that but forgot to check the modulation type when I programmed it.
Thanks for the 119,118,121, and 118.225 id's. Will check programming..

THANKS, YA'LL-
Jon
