Hello all
First off, I am completely new to scanners. I recently purchased a barely used Pro-39 on eBay. I am mainly interested in military aviation as I live close to Nellis AFB. Lately I have been venturing out to Rachel NV to watch their training. So I decided to pick up a scanner to help me plan and have a better understanding of what's going on. I hear the planes flying over my house, but no idea where they are going to train. As a photographer, Star Wars Canyon is on my bucket list.
So my issue. I found this list of frequencies on the internet for Nellis
The VHF channels, I have no problems plugging them in and listening.
However when I try to program in the UHF channels, I get an error message.
I didn't think much of it since the VHF channels worked fine. however when I tried to program the frequency for Star Wars Canyon, 315.9, got the error message. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong? if it's the capability limitations of the scanner? etc.
I did also buy a Uniden BC125AT but I am a Mac user and having fun figuring out how to program that, but that's a topic for another day and forum.
Any help would be appreciated.
Christopher
