I've heard that a BC 780XLT was a decent scanner for Milair listening so i picked one up on Ebay, I've entered the list of Milair frequencies that was published in the Capitol Hill Monitors newsletter. This totals some 400 frequencies. Given the time it takes to scan this number of frequencies, I'm sure I'm missing a lot.
Has anyone winnowed this list down to a list of the more active frequencies?
Has anyone winnowed this list down to a list of the more active frequencies?
Being as I have 5 780XLT, I have 1 running the ZDC Frequencies as primary, 1 Running the MD ANG / Andrews Frequencies, 1 Monitoring Baywatch (although I cant pick much up), and 1 Running PAX Frequencies.
As for trying to narrow down its hard, as all 4 of mine can be equally busy with chatter. I think you probably should decide what you want to try and listen to the most...
Sadly I cant pick up AR Chatter or Huntress but that may be due to my location and lack of big antennas.

At my girlfriends now, just SE of KMRB and heard an aircraft nearby. Looked out to see a pair of MV-22s in landing mode inbound.
Didn't get a callsign, just the suffix 31. They were a dark color, so probably from HMX-1.
1012- NIGHTHAWK-31/32 now departing.

I'm pretty sure they don't transmit it.

Rats, wrong direction for a visual for me. Have a new telephoto lens I've been wanting to try out.

Heard and saw DECOY15 94-0069 inbound as I came out of Brown's funeral home at 1345. Then saw it leaving to the east right after getting to the cemetery in Baker Heights a little bit later.

PBY-5A WW-II Seaplane
The story of PBY-5A, CATALINA Strawberry 5 discovery and restoration for the US Navy museum in San Diego. It was the only remaining intact PBY-5 Catalina remaining in the World, and it was discovered in South Africa.
PBY "STRAWBERRY 5" was the plane that found the Japanese carriers in the 'Battle of Midway' which became the turning point of WW-II in the Pacific. That's why this airplane is so historically important.
It was also one of the first planes to have a Flight Engineer (FE) on it. Wait until you see where the FE sits!!!
