U.S. Army to conduct military training exercises in Phoenix and Peoria

[cfsimmont]

Saw this on the local news feed last night, I have the common military freq's loaded into the scanner but it doesn't appear to be much for the Army. Looking for any additional frequencies that may be in use provided they aren't encrypted or on a system that isn't able to be monitored.

Those in Phoenix and Peoria may notice military activity Sept. 20-23 as the U.S. Army conducts training exercises. We have what to know.

A couple of months ago the Army conducted the same sort of training for a week at various locations around San Antonio. One location was on a property next door to my office. In the office I had scanners searching - one from 30-87 MHz FM, one from 138-150.85 MHz FM, one from 225-380 MHz AM and one from 380-420 MHz FM. I heard *nothing* related to those operations the entire week. I could hear all the usual users but I did not even detect a signal from those exercises.

Very interesting. Does the US Army use mesh type networks now?

They utilize a multitude of unmonitorible networks. Your scanner won't even detect most of them in use.

Plus the fact that U.S. military radio communications training dictates to use as minimal radio traffic as possible and the lowest transmit power that is required for communicating.

Frequency hopping/spreadspectrum would be in the background noise. No military intercepts during exercises.

There was a drone up over Peoria last evening. Track boundaries were SR101 on the W, Grand Avenue to the E, and about Glendale Avenue on the S. It flew out of the Papago Army Air Support area.
