MWAA System Coverage

[slalomkayaker1]

I live in montgomery county and I now pick up the MWAA system with FULL 99% decoding when before I couldnt even break squelch! Any one know if a new tower has been added or if the power of this system has been increased?

lucky you... :?
I still have the usual +/- 13% in DC, Rockville & Chevy Chase. When & where in the county are you getting this? Hopefully it's some testing thing I 'missed' and not just some atmospheric anomaly you lucked out on.

I am hearing this transmission from Montgomery County.

MWAA Trunk

I'm using a PRO-94 from Radioshack. Using the info at the link below I set up the trunk, but am unable to receive anything. I can hear the garbage on the control channel when in conventional mode, but in trunk mode I get nothing. I'm also able to pick up Alexandria's trunk system just fine.

I can also pick up the tower and airlines in conventional mode.

I set MWAA up as a Motorola Type II 800. Using the following frequencies:

866.6750
866.8875
866.9250
867.2000
867.3500
867.4375
867.4625
868.2125 Control

Am I missing channels or have I set up the wrong system type?

Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately, MWAA's system is digital, and the PRO-94 can only do analog signals. That's why it's not working.

Thanks. I was at the airport today and got bupkis. That explains it.
