148.15000 N162 Diablo Primary
148.12500 N162 Diablo Backup

Sorry, no wing information.

Wayne..

Your info has me puzzled a little.

The NAC of $162 doesn't translate back to a valid CTCSS tone
based upon the CAP Conversion Chart.

Might this be a CTCSS Tone vs a NAC, where the NAC would then be $656
when they do use P25 ??

I added to the CAP WIKI a copy of the conversion chart that CAP uses.

I brought this up in another CAP thread regarding the difference a few months back. It's what both sites used, I can confirm it. The site PL is 162.2 so it does make some sense.

 

[jmm346]

For what its worth, I was getting a periodic kerchunk or data burst on a frequency that turned out to be an image of 148.1500. On the analog side, it would spit out 162.2. On the digital side, it would spit out N656.

I haven't heard the NAC on the actual CAP freq yet, but given that the analog tone was matching up, I would think the NAC would also match up.

If it makes a difference, I received the NAC on a pro-197.

I've been able to confirm that they are using N656 in California. I believe its from the same site that previously used 162.2.

[ecps92]

149.5350 would be the old 149.5375 100.0 Hz

GUARD so far [East Coast] has been found on 150.2250 162.2 Hz
Since the Code Plug is based on a National usage, I would not expect
there to be an east/west difference.

Good find on those other missing channels.

They are now using R-64 Portable/Airborne repeater with a ctcss tone of 203.5 on 148.1500. They been using a mountain site the past few days. They made the switch this Tuesday morning from R-62 repeater to R-64 repeater.

If you can't copy the above 148.1500 box. It's also being repeated on 142.2625

From the old days, and still true with the new civil air patrol radio upgrades.
A repeater with 203.5 Hz is a Temp / Tactical Repeater
