Because they're not using mode-S. Most tactical aircraft usually do not. They're using mode 3 aka A/C. Aviation transponder interrogation modes - Wikipedia

139.875 Tankers talking about offloading some gas and the Command Post ect... Don't think it is CAP related. They are coming in full scale here in Ct. and this is McGuires freq.
I've seen fighters show on the screen in previous CAPs a few times. But it is rare.
2030- two McGuire tankers trying to work through a boom problem, going through check lists on 139.875....I suspect its the 2 tankers going north over NY state
ALDIS 15 & 33. Starting to lose them now.

Up near Albany now

Okay I guess what I'm wondering then is why there are a few fighters and bombers that are using their mode-S on rare occasions ? I'm thinking maybe in some cases they have it selected on by mistake ? Like the B-52s on their show of force missions, well maybe in that case they do want it on for the PR, it just seems random ?

I don't know. Maybe they want friends, family, or crew to follow them sometimes? This guy today probably had his switch backwards. On when in the CAP, off when he was leaving.

They used 363.9 most today with 293.3 next and only used 328.5 during a specific 34 minute timeframe.
Seems one of our East Coast VFA-106 F/18F's took a bird strike while Gladiator training at El Centro.

2053 local ALDIS-15 KC-10 79-1712 up on AR-220 freq 274.550 up with Navy E-6B Shadow-13.
Callsign on radio sounded like Aldia-15. Don't see many E-6B tankering over dry land.

Are you hearing Huntress from your location? If so, I wonder where the transmitter is?
I helped the user freqhopping get his feed working. He's very close to the huntress transmitter site. Maybe he'll chime in with some details.

Evolution to CMV-22B Osprey means sundown of ‘venerable’ C-2A Greyhound
When the Navy officially announced the introduction of the CMV-22B Osprey as the future of carrier onboard delivery (COD) in 2015, it did not come as a great shock to

I think they're using the boom interphone.
I thought on the last AR I heard him say he was switching to CH12 when he was leaving the Huntress freq. ? It seemed like he called it before he would have been connected ?
Logged these guys last night on recordings. They switched to their A-A freq of 378.85*
0110-0156z 378.850 ALDIS 15+33 A-A. Finishing up with the refueling between these two. ALDIS 15 asking 33 if they needed to pass any info for their next AR with SHADOW 13 in AR-220 with a CT time of 0300z.
*This freq was confirmed by a Mid-Atlantic monitor as McGuire A-A. This was the first time it's been heard up here on my radios. Hope this helps.
Yes my radio went silent. Don't have that freq. thank you!
