148.875 VA

After listening, it sounds like loading of materials at Yorktown or Ft Eustis?

 

[JeffTurner]

Must be Yorktown, I listened for about 3 or 4 hours yesterday and it's not Eustis for sure.

PLtone and repeater input?

Anyone know what the pl/interference eliminator tone and repeater input frequencies might be? this info would be really usefull since some areas, especially close to the shipyard, have lots of background radio noise and can keep the squelch open on many frequencies, including this one?

 

[K4APR]

Isn't this in the CAP range?

148.875 in CAP range

The Hampton Roads area military uses several frequencies in the CAP range...

Dam Neck Police / Fire has been using 148.425 for as long as I can remember. However, Dam Neck is shifting over to NAS Oceana Security radio system now. They can access the new repeater at NAS Oceana (140.225).

I remember Dam Neck Security receiving interference from the 2 meter Ham band and CAP around 1987 after I installed the new base station equipment. We installed very low loss rigid heliax cable. The Security Officer told me to "make them stop interferring with us!"

Dam Neck Fire is still using 148.425
Oceana Fire is now on 148.650

Thanks for the tone

Thanks for the tone, now I can listen to it without the elevated noise floor from the shipyard constantly opening the squelch!
