[MilCom] Possible frequencies? ACC F-16 Viper West Demonstration

Sun Oct 12 12:03:31 EDT 2008

Thanks for sharing that, Greg. Unfortunately, my 296 charging port problem
got the best of me so I wont be able to monitor the show. My trusty
alternative Pro-43 decided to die when I was at Travis earlier this year so
I'm sitting here with 4 broken scanners....actually 5...one does work but it
doesn't do Mil-Air. Half the fun of an air show is being able to monitor
IMHO...

Thanks again to all that responded to my original inquiry.

-Roger

PS I believe there's extra planes flying today including the Raptor.
