135.725 was used for PA at one point yesterday and once again today.

Thanks for posting the freqs. Programmed them in and will see what I can hear tomorrow. Although probably only get stuff that's in the air because of my distance.

Will stream it on Proscan RSOIP so I can listen on Proscan Client in another room, and/or for anyone else interested.

One change from yesterday. They are using 135.725 MHz for discrete now, changed from 123.150 MHz.

Thanks, just saw your post after I made my post. I think they were causing interference with some smaller airport around the area using 123.150 MHz. Good that you already confirmed them using it.

From that distance, you might only hear the Blue Angels when they get up high enough. Good luck!

Just confirmed someone is using ISR radios. Heard some comms on ISR-1 396.875 MHz.

Also heard comms on ISR-2 397.125 MHz.
Found a parking channel that is probably in the show radios.
467.8625 MHz DMR Color code 5 talkgroup 14.
If you are within about 3 miles of the field, you can hear the announcer audio on 87.9 MHz WFM.
One correction to the show radio list I posted earlier.
Fuel-Oil-Smoke uses 467.7625 MHz color code 5 talkgroup 2.
Not sure who if anyone uses 464.1625 MHz Color Code 9 Talkgroup 2 on slot 1 but I think I saw someone key up on it once.

It has been reported that the ISR channels were used by Civil Air Patrol cadets.
