Madison Military (Truax) Coms

[MADScan]

OK so I live in south madison and everyday and night I always see and hear all sorts of diffrent military planes flying around. I think it would be pretty cool to hear what they are saying up there so if anybody knows any Freqs please share.

All the freqs you need are listed elsewhere on this site.

 

[MADScan]

Where? I cant find any, unless they are under Volk or McCoy?

 

[SCPD]

Do you want squadron Ops freqs?
If so your best bet is to search the UHF Air band and 135-144 Mhz.

 

[MADScan]

Are they digital?

 

[OpSec]

Hit the database, search the wiki and the forums for some of the more common MilAir channels and you will be set.

Plug in the Volk AM freqs too.

A few are digital.

[SCPD]

The digital ones listen in the database are LMR frequencies not air.
Stateside I dought they will use "Green Coms"(encryption). Their air comms should be anolog and in the clear.

a search of 138 - 140 MHz in AM mode will allow you to catch the majority of local air-to-air radio comms used by WI ANG flights as well as other nationwide units using the local gunnery ranges or air refueling in the WI area. You will hear some sort of communications almost daily. Remember, mode has to be AM and some scanners aren't capable.

138.350 AM has been very active this week with WI ANG Ops. As I type this as a matter of fact..

I have this tagged as thier "VICTOR-15" Pre-set (air to air)

 

[SCPD]

That will be there Channel number 15 on the VHF side. VICTOR means VHF and UNIFORM means UHF.

MADScan, you may want to check out (CARMA), the Chicago Area Radio Monitoring Association. CARMA has a large file on military frequencies in the Midwest.
