VTARNG or Federal frequencies ?

[w1icw]

Does anybody have any (recent) frequencies for VTARNG ? I would love to monitor them when they are in convoy past my house ( I live right next to I-89 )

Also any Federal freqs would be cool.. I am guessing most if not all is P25 or otherwise encrypted now, but you never know.

Thanks in advance,

Bob W1ICW

I would say try a little searching [VT Fed monitoring is Rare - except for us tourists - err Scannists] :evil:

Try 137-144, 148-150.7900, 162-174, 380-400, 400-420 for ranges.

Post back what you do find with Tones, to help ID the users.

Go jump over to the Scan New England site - they have forums more specific to Vermont and their wiki has got at least some of that information

best regards..Mike

For VTARNG, don't forget VHF low band! Lots of activity there. Convoys are usually on 38 or 46 MHz. Seek and ye shall find. New repeater is up on 46.95 as well, from Mt. Mansfield I believe. And there's lots of stuff in the 40s used for training.

Any tone for the Mt Mansfield Rptr? Still ID as Catamount Base?

Output tone is 151.4, and it's not a close match on (military) 150.0, it is commercial equipment using that PL. Inputs are elsewhere on low band.

You may hear a bunch of different freqs used at different times, especially for short-range simplex work. One particular unit's officers and some senior enlisted all have Icom VHF HTs and use MURS. EAFR has a cache of ISRS radios, but half of them seem to be lost or inoperable at any given time, not leaving enough to even outfit a platoon.
