Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question but I,m having a problem setting up my SDS100 for the Cleveland Air Show. I added air show to my favorite list copied all the Blue Angel freq. into it turned on all service types but when I try to scan I get the nothing to scan message. When I checked what services were on only the military service is on. Had no problem doing the same on my Home Patrol. What am I missing??

How far away from the field are you? Also, what antenna are you using? The SDS100 doesn't pick up aviation or military bands well at all, especially with the stock antenna.

I live about 3 miles east of the airport in a high rise bld. The planes fly right over my bld.

If it says “nothing to scan,” it’s not a reception issue - check that you have the correct scan banks turned on. Also, if you added them manually, they may not have saved as “military” service types. Check one of the entries and see what service type it is. I believe it defaults to “Custom 1.”

Off my HP I confirm:284.2500-237.800-275.3500
Still can't get the 100 to scan. I did not add manually but off the database which was in red letters??

Not sure what to do from there as I use 436s instead of the 100. But I would check and see what you may have locked out. Reference the manual if need be.

@jsoergel Thanks for the list! That helped a lot.

Tonya if you look at the favorite list you created for the Blues, does it look anything like this??...I'm about 5 miles east of you in the hills.. You should be able to scroll down to see the full favorites list.

Add 262.750 for the LA ANG F-15s that arrived this afternoon. They also called in to Atlantic Aviation at KCLE on 130.300.

 

[tonya]

Thanks TV88KEYS to answer your question yes looks the same but the Air Shows-USA is in red letters. Can't tell by your snap shot if yours is.

 

[tonya]

Sorry everyone this will last post on this in this forum but I got it working by highlighting the Red Air Shows-USA and hitting Clear Avoids that got it out of the Red and into Black letters. Its now scanning. Enjoy the show!!

They were using 284.050 in Dayton, I wonder why they switched freqs?

284.050 is their primary aux freq; I think 262.750 is Ops. Have it written down somewhere but don't recall.

Airboss heard today on 118.300 gnd/local tower while Airboss (Burke TFR) airspace check in was on 125.850. Likely these will be Airboss/discrete for the weekend, though they do change up. Couldn't find any STA's filed, so hopefully anything that pops up will be from the history file. Blue Angels are on their normal bandplan, and the F 15's continue to show up on 284.050 interplane.

 

[IStebleton]

I got a lot of Comms from the Airshow from today, I will try to update here as soon as I can tonight.
