Great thread! I'll be checking on this one often.

The first thing you need is the scanner. You need a scanner that will cover the UHF milair band. Your new uniden will do that for you. You have that covered.

Second thing are the freqs and according to you you have them already. Its important to have all the aerial refueling or "AR" freqs programed as well as the ZBW "Boston Center" freqs. This is where military aircraft make their first contacts with ATC.

Third thing is the antenna. You really should have a good outdoor antenna up as high as you can possibly get it. Now there are a few antennas on the market that are made specifically for the milair band but a discone will work just fine. I would also use a preamp between your radio and antenna to help pick out weak signals. So you have the first two covered how about the antenna? What are you using for an antenna Kevin?

Rob,

I thought I had what frequencies I needed but after looking at this: Category:Milcom - The RadioReference Wiki I see I am not even close to having what I should. Some of the frequencies posted in this thread I do not have. How can you get all those frequencies from the wiki programmed with out doing it all by hand? I can not find in Sentinel where to get any more besides the common. For instance I do not see 126.350 any where in the frequencies I found.

I use Freescan which has a feature called "Ez-Grab". You copy the freqs into your clipboard (highlight them and right click, and click "copy). Then got to Ez-Grab and click copy from clipboard. Works very well.
