Civil Air Patrol (Niagara Region)

[Saint]

I have been trying to pick up Civil Air Patrol down in Fort Erie Ont. My scanner keeps stopping on 142.2625 MHz with a TONE of NAD6. in the log it says Digital Type Data and will not scan it's like an open Carier. Anyone else seeing this. Any idea what this is.

You’re picking up the control channel for PSRN’s Fort Erie site.

Thanks, Enjoi19, I should have caught that myself, thanks for the help.

As to CAP, I've only seen that freq used/allowed in California and it was for linking of the Repeater, never caught it east of the Wrong err Left Coast

Thanks, ecps92 for the info. I have not picked up anything down this way on the frequencies, I think I am out of luck.

IMHO - Most activity would be Fri-Sun with the exception to Radio Nets on some weeknights with the Squadrons

Your two nearest (NY) Repeaters are
R-106 Rochester and R-103 Niagara

I have put in all the frequencies just in case.

When using a scanner in the 138-144 area here in Ontario I recommend you set the step size to 5kHz. The default 12.5 on the Uniden's is a pain, LOL. Typically the frequencies are spaced every 15 kHz but in typical Canadian manner the 138-144 is not a continuous sequence of 15kHz increments.

OK Gary123 I will try that, also (OFF TOPIC) I am waiting to the end of the month to use unitrunker on the Fort Erie SITE and see what changes I can log.
