I used to hear them years ago working their ground crew on 151.625, but I hadn't heard them there in a long time and have been wondering what they were currently using. I recall that they also had a simplex 460.xxx freq they'd use to coordinate with the person on the ground who was "catching" their microwave video feed while providing aerial coverage (beauty/bump shots) of live sporting events.

Did you happen to note if they were using a PL or DPL on 151.505, Chuck?

Thanks!

I've heard them before on both 151.625 and 151.505 using a PL of 151.4. As mentioned, they also have UHF capability to coordinate with the media ground crew who are setting up the microwave camera link.

Unfortunately that radio doesn't have PL capabilities. I needed to be upstairs in my room to be able to do that, but it was too hot up there. It's been awhile since I've heard them on 151.625. I've also heard them on 469.500 PL 151.4 for a Red Wings game 01-19-12. Also a Tiger's ALCS game PL 103.5, 10-04-11.
