Continuing... Had to break this up, biggest post I've ever made and I guess there's a cap... What a marathon. I guess with this coming back somewhat I need to start looking at it every day again.

I wonder why the military continues to use non govt frequencies. They have plenty of them to go around.

Excellent question. However, they can use any frequency in the 30-88 MHz range. Do any military comms use WFM? In the early 90's during Cycle 22, I seem to remember hearing some using WFM. Could be faulty memory too.:)

Some of the "odd" low band freqs the military uses that we hear as skip maybe from other Countries where there freq plan is different than here in the US. The FM broadcast band, 88-108MHz uses WBFM 200KHz wide signals. The older military radios use 50KHz wide signals, so if your scanner has wbfm, fm, nbfm modes; the wbfm mode is too wide for good reception, fm is good, nbfm is a bit narrow so the signal will sound slighty distorted but readable. The newer mil radios use a 25/5KHz bandwidth so the signal is clearer when using the nbfm mode on your scanner. The military uses a 150hz tone on their radios, the closest tone on scanners is 151.4hz; so the military radios will usually break the squelch on a scanner.

Thanks for the explanation. I could swear that there were US military comms that I logged on my PRO-2006 in WBFM, but I'd have to dig out my old log books to confirm.

I do recall loggings of foreign militaries using WBFM, as per Pop Comm magazine back in the 90's.

Everything I have logged recently, such as Ft Hood, were good in FM on my old PRO-2006 and Bearcat 210XLT. These do predate narrow-banding, obviously. :)

Note 1: Got some ridiculous audio of some jackass dispatcher trying to discipline/admonish students over the radio that they could lose their riding privileges. Shouting at the top of his voice into the desk mic, over-deviated, just embarrassing. Apparently this provider services certain church oriented schools, as he was going on about "Your Rabbi or Deacon could be notified". I wonder if it's Deacon Blues? (Bonus if you get the reference).

Dare I say it seems we're developing a trend here.

Nothing of note today except for the usual two CHP frequencies shown above. But man - what a great few days! Like an old friend came by to stay for a bit. I hope we start to see more of this kind of thing as summer winds down. We'll see. Whatever the case, man, what a stellar run!

I wonder why the military continues to use non govt frequencies. They have plenty of them to go around.

...DOUG
KD4MOJ
From some old records I see the military along with US fed govt has pretty much exclusive use of 30.0-30.55, 32.0-33, 34.0-35, 36.0-37, 38.0-39, 40.0-42, and some discreet freqs sprinkled from 42 through 50MHz. Unless something changed 20yrs ago it should be true today.

You should not see any receive logs of US business or local fire/police on the even MHz 30 through 42MHz.

That's good to know - I'll dump the evens out of my scan list as I don't have much interest in listening to the military. Though it seems I hear more of them on 31/33 than anywhere else.

If you pick up military outside the even number MHz 30MHz up through 42MHz its probably coming from outside the US. Or the users didn't follow orders and just picked any frequency .

There is a large military installation not terribly far from where my station is, and I'm certain the above is exactly the case.

Nice catch, 31.760 MHz with 167.9 Hz PL may be 31.750 MHz UK hospital paging. I've noticed that each hospital seems to use a different PL tone when voice transmissions are made. The system uses a mixture of POCSAG data and FM voice. 31.725 MHz, 31.750 MHz and 31.775 MHz.
30.000 MHz military comms noted here on 09/23/2025 (with 150.0 Hz PL, decoding as 151.4 Hz of course).
