Civil Air Patrol 148.125 131.8 PL is active this afternoon. This is the Mt. Ord CAP repeater.

 

[cellphone]

148.150 107.2 PL CAP Mt. Lemon is also active today.

 

[cellphone]

139.875 173.8 PL CAP TAC 1 Simplex is also active.

 

[cellphone]

They are also referencing teams to make contact on Mt. Elden Repeater. This should be 148.150 151.4 PL, but I cannot receive this from my location.

 

[cellphone]

There is also activity on CAP Guard 150.225 162.2 PL Simplex. There are also references to White Tanks Repeater. This should be 148.150 88.5 PL, but I cannot receive this.

 

[cellphone]

I don't have an HF radio, but it might be worth listening to the Net 6 frequencies for activity:
2379, 4512, 4627, 7416, 10550, 12183, 14457, 16333, 22872, and 26617 (all frequencies in KHz)

 

[WB2UZR]

Also hearing traffic on 148.150, 88.5 PL

 

[cellphone]

Channel "Romeo 67" 148.1375 203.5 PL is active. This might be an airborne repeater.

"Red Rocks 71" heard on White Tanks site w/CAP 279 148.150/88.5

 

[JohnSpartan]

Do they still utilize P25?

 

[cellphone]

Everything I have monitored today has been analog.

 

[JohnSpartan]

I remember for a hot minute they advocated both, and maintained mix mode repeaters. Least thats what documents showed from years past. The last time they participated in a search was all analog, IF I remember correctly.

Thanks for posting information on this exercise John! This proved to be an active afternoon of CAP monitoring. I would not have been paying attention to CAP frequencies if you had not posted this. We all gained some great information that can be used for monitoring a real event in the future!

You're welcome. Since I was at work at 3am, and I took a nap after eating lunch after I got home, I myself didn't do any listening. But, I'm glad others got to.

Depends on the wing and missions, but generally it is Analog use for most events

Do they still utilize P25?
