[MilCom] UHF Searching

[Jack Nesmith]

Before PC controlled scanners we probably all searched 225.0 to 230.0 or 
such.
I can program both my 780 and 796 with my PC.
Using the 796 I set up files of 10 banks of 100 freqs. Bank 1 looks like 
this:
      225.000
      225.025
      225.050
      225.075
      225.100
      225.125
      225.150
      225.175
      225.200
      225.225
      225.250
      225.275
      225.300

      225.400
      225.425
      225.450
      225.475
      225.500
      225.525

I have had better luck searching using this technique. There are something 
like 6,207 freqs between 225 and 379.975. ;-)

NGA publishes the IFR Supplement using the information provided by the FAA. 
My personnel feelings are the FAA has more in-house problems than they will 
ever admit. Sound's like when an area frequency manger assign's a new 
VHF/UHF freq to a sector and advise's the office that collates new info and 
sends change's to
NGA aren't doing their job.

This URL is a report about new sector freqs needed in FL. 
http://www.natcazjx.org/rvsm/nar/ZJX%20Facility%20Update%20040531.htm
This report is dated 31May04, I did a search of the current IFR for 133.875 
and 322.475 and they are not published as being used by Jax Center. I had a 
hit on 322.475 3/10/06.

Anyone have a current copy of the GMF they will loan me??
