This is new to me, where do I find this for Phoenix? I've never set the band plan.
re: LAFB
Hooked up my 996T (don't know if xt works the same?) to the puter and am using PSREedit software.
Made two scanlists (for comparison).
_____________________________________________
Scanlist #7 uses:
Maricopa County, Arizona (AZ) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference
Luke Air Force Base (down near the bottom of the page)
and with PSREdit the following are imported directly into scanlist 7:
Aviation - Air Traffic Control
F-16 Fighter Squadron
Flight Operations
(36 conventional freqeuncies)

Scanlist #11 uses:
Maricopa County, Arizona (AZ) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference
Luke Air Force Base Motorola Type II Smartnet
(down near the bottom of the page)
and with PSREdit the following are imported directly into scanlist 7:
The entire system
(multilpe CCs and 37 TGs)

Amazing reception from both scanlists.
#7 is picking up mostly Commercial Airliner activity as they pass near the base and check in (that's what it sounds like to me anyway).
#11 is picking up actual base traffic. They are still making landings and takeoffs after dark (not many).
Most interesting:
Fuel Truck to Ground Control asking for permission to taxi to a "F-18" at a coded location.
Ground Control comes back chuckling and says "don't you mean a F-16?"
Fuel Truck laughs and yells "No! It's a F-18, a NAVY plane."
Sounded like the fuel guy had been planning that one all day.
Reception of the #11 tower, fuel trucks, and other on-base transmissions are coming in better than the Phx PD (maybe no surprise) but also better than the aircraft answering back to the tower (that's a new wrinkle for me).
I bet you could copy this stuff from Apache Junction!
I'm near I-17 and Bell road.
