Pasadena pay attention to the Sticky Thread for Milcom IV - there's LOTS of information to be had there, and there are a few active milair folks right next door to us. Pay attention to the stuff TinEar and MdMonitor1 reports....you will need a good outdoor antenna, however - a duckie is not going to cut it here. Your 164 will likely be a slightly better choice than your 94, which doesn't cover the 225-400 mhz area; however the 94 might be useful IF you can change the mode in the 138-144 mhz area (which many older radios receive as FM) to AM. 73 Mike
