San Antonio Military Smartzone System

[blantonl]

Looks like all the local military agencies have made their transition to the new ASTRO Military Smartzone system. Randolph, Lackland, Camp Bullis, and Fort Sam are all on the new system. I tracked down all the frequencies for all the sites today and all is working well.

Some notes:

1. The control channel for Randolph field is *still* being broadcast on by the Brooks AFB control channel... unbelievable.

2. The old 406.550 control channel for Lackland has gone silent and is finally now only used by the VA hospital site on the legacy 2e17 system.

3. There is some encryption noted on talkgroups, especially at Randolph.

I'm surprised that they didn't move to a 380mhz system...

Thanks for the info, I will update my radio and see what I can hear!

I put Lackland in my 396 but I can't pick anything up. It may be my programming or I may be too far away (15 miles).
