Pro-96 Up and Running

[kl1lt]

Finnaly. I recieved my cable from GRE and have loaded all the ALMR stuff into the scanner. It is working great. Is North Pole still being dispatched by Fairbanks? I will try and figure out the Eielson talk groups marked flightline. During the brief time I have been listening it sounds like 29082 is "POL" delivering fuel to aircraft, and 29058 is MWR, they are located at the ski hill now.

Yes, North Pole is being dispatched by Fairbanks Dispatch. Rumor has it that the remaining local area fire dept.s are moving to ALMR soon. As for the talk groups, RR has a well maintained database on our ALMR system. I have a PRO-2096 and It monitors the system quite well. I have noticed that FPD sometimes only uses ALMR and will not broadcast their traffic on conventional Analog very often. Trust you will enjoy your new radio. PS Make sure you have Fairbanks DOT loaded... It was nice last winter to know where the gravel was at... not to mention the snow plows.

Thanks Radar, I was planning on putting the DOT in there just to see what they were doing.

From the RR database I narrowed these down a bit:

29065 (Fox?) - 18th Aircraft Maintenance Unit (F-16's)
29066 (Thunder?) - 355th Aircraft Maintenance Unit (A-10's)

I think I know what some others are but I am not certain yet. Will post when I am certain, unless nobody cares about any of these "flightline" ones.

Heard these this morning, but could'nt make out what they were.
29168
29855

Just heard 11867 sounds like it may be AST. Called out on truck w/ large load and no pilot car.

 

[AlaskaRadar]

Maybe it is time to set up my PC to record TG's. Most traffic seems to happen while I am at work By the way, Where are you monitoring from. I have only been out of NP once with my 2096 and began noticing Fairbanks traffic around birch lake (If i remember correctly.) I am mostly curious to see how far they have some TG linked. Thanks

I am on Eielson. I have not been off base since I have programmed the radio so I have not been able to tell how far away I can go.

11867 - sounds like it might be out of anchorage. 1 caller "just arrived Anchorage jail" another was a traffic stop on "Boniface"

 

[AlaskaRadar]

On my way home form work, I noticed AST Detectives are useing ALMR. Had to lock out the TG for they were useing encryption.. Quite annoying while you are driving. Looks like Fairbanks is slowly coming up to speed.

By all means, post what you know and what you can confirm. That's the only way the database got to where it is today. I've contributed "quite a bit" for a while now.....

Yep, it seems to be "patched" with talkgroup 11861 and it has had traffic from the Mat-Su Valley (Wasilla, Palmer, etc.) to Glennallen, Parks Hiway, etc. In other words, mostly "South Zone" traffic.

It basically has to do with what units/radios are associated with what site/talkgroup. Sometimes you can hear Valdez PD and such all the way up here in Fairbanks because somebody up here on a local site "affiliated" to their talkgroups or an officer from down there happens to be up here for some reason.

 

[kikito]

29058 is MWR, they are located at the ski hill now.

Excuse the ignorance, what does "MWR" stand for?

 

[AlaskaRadar]

Moral Welfare Recreation: post services (Gym, PX, Shoppett, etc)

MWR - they are the people who are renting boats, fishing gear, travel trailers, etc. They have spots in Valdez and Seward.

29075 - 354th Maintenance Squadron (this is where I work)
29073 - 354th Maintenance Squadron - ammo

29145 - I think these might be the KC-135's from the gaurd. I have never heard this kind of stuff working on fighters.

29855 - calling range control
29857 - calling range control

 

[kl1lt]

29090 - Hospital, Bio-Envioronmental Eielson

17144 - ? trying to locate vehicles for alert crews. Eielson

29168 - ? replaceing antennas and working on gps

Does anyone know what freq the civilian gate guards on Eielson are using? The company name is UsProtect and I can't find anything in FCC.

By any chance, could they be using the old SP analog freqs.?:

408.000
408.800

29855 - calling range control
29857 - calling range control

Those two are definitely Range Control and I think it's related to Donnelly Dome.

I don't think so. I never deleted these from my scanner when the Eielson switched over to ALMR, and I never heard anything from them.

PS. I can't do the quote thing yet.
