Just curious if anyone has a solid, "active-freq-only" list for their VHF (136-174) mobiles? I'll be happy to share mine later next week. I'm updating my V8000 channel list as soon as I get a spare power cable. SInce I rarely leave King Co much any more, I have WSP F1, F7, C2C, MARS/LERN, PSE, USFS, Marine VHF, Wx and a few media freqs like KIRO.

I'm thinking I can probably add RR and US Customs (or have they gone 100% digital now?)

Thanks,
-Nick

I do.
But I'm sure not in King county.

Do you catch much local traffic on 146.52 ? 147.54 might be better for King/Sno/Pierce/Kitsap/Island.

I get some, usually over from I-5. There's also 2 ancient, crusty-sounding guys in my area that use it like a private chat channel, having 20-30 minute conversations, usually multiple times a day. One lives a few blocks away; the other on top of a near-by hill...The nearer of the two, in true wacker fashion, has decked-out his 10 year-old SUV with an amber light bar.

I hate that shit, using the national simplex calling freqs like a bunch of LIDS

Does Airlift NW really use P25 full-time? Or is it just for certain calls?

Every time I've heard it recently it's been P25, with a 293 NAC.

No kidding

Reminds me of a time I got on 50.125 SSB with a friend of mine across town, to check out a new 6M all mode.

My friend had a KL7 (AK) call.

We only chatted a minute or two when all of a sudden several OPS busted in calling my friend with the AK call.

They were VERY excited, and asked, "where ARE you?!?"

MAN were they PISSED when he said "Burien..."

They grumbled something about being a calling channel...

I tried to break in as someone was calling me on I-5 after interrupting their 1 hour "QSO". They claimed I was causing 'harmful interference'. It was the start of me programming more non ham channels in my radios

This is a good topic, I'd be interested to see more.

Anybody but me listen to NLEEC??? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Screech... Screech... Screech... DTMF... etc....

Rich is right about 147.54, although some of the regulars are becoming
irregular... :shock: :shock: :roll: :beer: :beer: :beer: :puke: :puke:

Are the DNR frequencies in the S Puget Sound region active? (i.e. worth monitoring via mobile?)

I've had NLEEC for a while in the radio, what I hear mostly are emergency activation tests from Montana... :-)
