THE FED FILES -
Welcome to The Fed Files blog! This blog was originally built to support the "Fed Files" column in Monitoring Times magazine. Although the Fed Files, as well as Monitoring Times, ended with the December 2013 issue, this blog continues and is associated with the new federal monitoring column, Federal Wavelengths, in The Spectrum Monitor magazine. If you would like to make a comment, pass along a tip or frequency you can send it to my email address, chrisparris @ thefedfiles.com
According to recent postings on Radio Reference, the trunked radio system at Luke Air Force Base in Glendale, Arizona has changed frequencies. The system moved from being in the 400 MHz federal band to the 380 MHz DoD managed spectrum.
One listener posted the control channel data he had deciphered: SYS:3D6 WACN:BEE00 SITE NAC:3DE RFSS-SITE:01-0E
385.0375 385.7625 385.9750 386.2500 386.5000 386.9750 387.4375 387.7875 387.9750 388.1500 388.3000 388.5750 The system ID and WACN indicate this is part of the larger US Air Force 3D6 networked trunked system, featuring VHF, UHF and 380 MHz systems. This system also serves multiple military bases in the San Antonio, Texas area: http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=7769
