Please be more specific in your thread title. (Location)

Was there a PL tone?

 

[daddyjohn]

Was the "Bear in the air" MSHP Aircraft involved? If there was a tone probably 156.7, I didn't hear so not sure.

154.68 CTCSS 156.7 is referred to as “M TAC” and is pretty much only used for traffic enforcement in most of the troops. Troop I is about the only district where I hear them switch to a different channel for traffic enforcement.

This is not just a troop D thing. The same air craft (stationed in bolivar) does several of these flights throughout troop A, D, and I. Just last week he was in Lafayette and Bates county and the week before last they went to Clay County (north side of KC) and again typically use M TAC from what I’ve heard on the Troop A channels. . I do believe in troop A they also use M Tac. In fact I hear them from time to time on M TAC in Henry county (Toop A). Troop I is the only district in the area where I hear them switch to a different channel.

Troop D has M tac and its mostly a 5 day a week thing in Sw Missouri.

In fact air craft today just cleared Phelps county (troop I) from traffic operations. Now headed to Polk County (Troop D) for traffic enforcement. (September 6, 2021 @ 13:34)

[KA0KDW]

routine traffic detail

 

[KA0KDW]

Do you happen to know the Freq for car to helo? I receive the helo but not the car, I have 42.000 186.2.For the car to helo but have not received any transmissions.

When they switch to 154.68 to talk to cars for traffic the cars talk on the same frequency as what you hear the Helo on.

 

[Arkmood]

Twice - today and 9/04/2021 freq. monitored on 4 different receiver/ant.systems for long periods of time, no CTCSS...

 

[KA0KDW]

Interesting. I guess they use 154.8 is used down in Taney for some reason.

 

[Arkmood]

Not that it's a problem - however, when the helo's in the airspace Branson Tower,Springfield Approach/Departure,CTAF,etc. has one more object to contend with - "helo at xxxxx feet", "helo north/south of you"...

 

[KA0KDW]

That’s while the pilot is supposed to be in constant contact on air channels it’s partly the pilots responsibility. Also not sure if everyone was aware but on scheduled traffic flights the HP is actually in a Cessna (majority of time).

Yes, this was MHP Air to ground. They were at Hwy 65 on mile marker 17.
