Just a reminder here folks, I would appreciate any of you who live close to 
a mil base take a search swing through the 380-390 MHz band using 12.5 kHz 
and FM mode. Please let us know of ANY activity you may have in that 
spectrum. Even if you have an exisiting VHF/UHF trunk system at your base, 
you might also have one of the new P25 trunk systems in this range. You can 
reach me on list or if you so desire privately offlist at 
larryvanhorn at monitoringtimes.com.

73 all and good hunting,

Chief
