See Post #30 which lists the correct freq

I'm using both search on the TRX radio and the Close Call function on my Uniden 436.

When I went out to Hamvention I flew in & out of CMH, looks they've switched to the APX 900. It didn't occur to me to Close Call/Spectrum Sweep them, but I should have because my gate was literally right next to the checkpoint. Oh well, in hindsight, I should have.

Chicago-Midway NAC 070....Clear and encryption in use.

I will try out the new UHF for KIND here in Indy, though they had just finished changing to the newer VHF fully Encrypted freqs here last year. But it does seem that they are starting to move onto UHF faster nationwide now. Down in MS it KJAN they are running on the MSWIN, and looks like they are also on other statewide TRS's now too.

Radio ID's in the 811xxx and 842xxx range as others have reported.

 

[CqDx]

JFK is confirmed to be using NAC 02B, Clear and encrypted usage. They seem to have a repeater for airport-wide coverage with multiple terminals checking in on the same frequency . Radio IDs 808xxx and 859xxx

As of January 1st, RDU airport remains unchanged on VHF, correct information is in the RR database. There was no activity in the 406-420 MHz government band.

Freq=166.737500 NAC=0B2 Group call; TG=1 RID=767018

 

[IStebleton]

I recently found TSA at KPIT on 406.7375 with $0C3 a couple months ago.

 

[ecps92]

Next trip, see if 169.3000 is the "repeater" for 166.7375

It was in the past, but during my short time there (and searching for other things) I did not hear it this time.

what about the Louisville Ky and the Lexington Ky. what about the knoxville area

We were hoping you'd take a scanner down there and verify for us.

That said, verified airports using the 400 MHz band are updated by @ChrisP on his blog at the link below.
