CAP Search on 148.15

[N9JIG]

Been listening the afternoon to a search for what I presume to be an ELT search by CAP units using the White Tanks 148.150 repeater.

The search cleared the Buckeye/Surprise area and seems to be heading west towards Aguilla.

Interesting listening...

Turned out to be an ELT at Lake Havasu City Airport.

Still using 88.5 / $375 for R-18 ???

PL 88.5 on the White Tanks, all analog. I was getting CloseCall hits on it at home...

Also heard a little chatter on 121.5 during it but I was too far by a hundred miles or so to hear the ELT.

Thanks - some wings did have to change out Repeater Tones, so it's always nice to get some OTA confirmations

Funny though, we had a plane crash last week 2 blocks from my house in the desert and no ELT went off and no CloseCall hits.

Guess the BUMP wasn't enough to set it off, or someone hadn't checked the batteries :wink:
