military freq

[norcalja]

i just got a scanner that picks up military aircraft. Ive been looking all over the web for freq in my area but seem to only find a few. I live near sacramento,ca. Im not far from beale afb and travis afb. i would like to know what freq they use in flight.

There will be many interflight frequencies in use. You'll want to search the 138-144 MHz range (AM mode) and the 225-400 MHz range (AM also) to find the interflights. Also in the 225-400 range is the ATC etc for military flights. I'm not sure of the specific aircraft the fly out of Beale or Travis so you might want to start by searching those ranges. To listen to the aircraft when they are at higher alititudes, you'll want to enter the Oakland ARTCC UHF Frequencies. Someone closer to your area might be able to give you specific frequencies but this should get put you on the right track.

You're both correct, but missing probably the best reference listing - as it's updated every 45 days or so, it's invaluable - the planning and enroute charts from the DoD website. You can get the links from here Go to the bottom of each of those sites and download. There's a wealth of information found there. There's even a section for the Pacific (the AP3 document) that might well be right up your alley.

Norcal, you'd no doubt benefit from getting a good antenna (such as the Diamond discone, ScanTenna, NilJon, ect.) fed with the right coax up in the air. This is one game where the antenna can make all the difference. You probably won't hear much (except the flights that are rather near you) on just a duckie or the whip that comes with some scanners.

He's right

ka3jjz is very much correct, I had completly forgot about the DoD FLIP as it's called. You will find your best source of information there. I found new frequencies there for the Air National Guard base near me that airnav does not show. Airnav is a good website but the DoD FLIP is your best bet.

 

[trainman111]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the FLIP doesn't show interflight frequencies does it?

 

[ka3jjz]

Ah but look at what norcal was asking for; 'in flight' not 'interflight' (as in air-air). Certainly the FLIPs won't call it that....in flight (or more properly, routing frequencies) are certainly found in the FLIPs.

Ah, I guess I wasn't think that. Yes, the FLIP certainly does show in flight frequencies. That's my mistake!
