Just spent the afternoon scanning.
Big big updates to the squelch tones on my page, live right now! All primary tones are confirmed! Secondary are from previous sources, and are not confirmed at this time.

Do u have a way to verify the uhf dmr used by indycar

No... Regulations say that they can't. But I hear it too. I don't get it. I'm not sure if they are allowed to in the pits, during practice? Or what the deal is. I hear a driver clearly on the radio, and then suddenly BARRRRRP. Digital noise. out of nowhere. I really wish they didn't do it at all, or if they are allowed to, do it on a different frequency or something. It's loud, jarring, and I hate it when the scanner stops on it.
I also assume that it's a private DMR that we will never have access to. ;)

The Indycar rules specify that all driver to team communications must be in unencrypted analog between 450.0000-470.0000 with a maximum
of 2 radios per race car stored in the nose in front of the driver feet. This analog only rule only applies to qualifying and race conditions. Interestingly, teams are allowed to use encrypted digital for driver to team communication during testing and practice.

Indycar officials have switched to MotoTRBO digital communication outside of the general Race Control analog rebroadcast on:
RACE CONTROL468.8250103.5
RACE CONTROL467.0125032

Brad is probably referring to one of the below (descriptions from my spreadsheet may be wrong) that are probably on digital now. It may or may not be encrypted where a digital scanner such as the Uniden SDS100 or BCD160DN may be able to listen.

I'm guessing alot of the ims track specific simplex and repeater analog will goto the new trunked track dmr. Lot of green updates to this system.

I believe it's four dmr repeaters and not simplex l? Then I'm "guessing " specific talk groups or ids then are filtered and rebroadcast to analog. Sorta like how Nascar is doing. Oh yes the uhf dmr used by Indy series is indeed Enc.

Dumb question. The officials listed on wiki do.we also know if these are setup as stand alone dmr repeaters or is this cap trunked dmr? I now own a sds100 which will help me much better to run the discovery and hear dmr easier.

Weird observation... why is Daly the only one not using a digital squelch? Doubt it matters... but maybe it does? Since everyone else is using one? I think I saw some unconfirmed CTCSS codes on the secondary frequencies, maybe... but until Daly, 100% DCS/DPL codes being used.

Just curious.

I've noticed that the 24 car always uses 85.4 for some reason, going back to at least 2022 with Sage Karam in the car.

I added Thunderbird frequencies from 3 different pages to my list of Indy500 frequencies. Ended up with 29 new channels to scan. No clue if any of them will hit- if these are current frequencies that they use or not. Anyone have any insight on these (bottom of my page) 2024 IndyCar Frequencies

Birds were up today but my amp lost power and I did not notice till they were landing at KIND. They were in and out on ADSBExchange and I never saw them visually or heard them standing outside, first time in many years. Nice to see a banner tow again. TROY ONE (showing Troy219 on ADSB) Homeland Eurocopter was up and refueling at Metro regular AC freqs.
