I was wondering if anyone knows of any frequencies that are used at the Yakima Training Center. I've spent a lot of time scouring the web, and have done a lot of searching, but have only come up with one active frequency. There has to be more!!!!! Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

What is the active frequency?

The active frequency I know of is 149.680 (Range Control).

The YTC Standard Operating Procedure has 40.2 listed as the range control tower frequency. Page 20

A few times when aircraft were working there I have heard the forward air controller on 290.6, callsign Bushmaster.

The IFR Supplement has these two: 36.7 and 41.5 Rattlesnake Radio.

Fort Lewis Range Regulations FL Reg 350-30 has these for Ft Lewis, they might be used in Yakima too:
34.6
41.35
141.5
393.3

Cool, thanks for the info. I'll plug all that stuff into the scanner and see what happens. 149.680 is a repeater output frequency that I haven't found published anywhere. But I do hear daily activity on that frequency from "range control" opening and closing ranges and taking info such as number of rounds fired, number of duds...etc...So I'm assuming that's a training center frequency, but I can't be 100% sure.

Thanks again

FYI only: Vancouver Barrecks, Fort Lawton and Yakima are under control of Fort Lewis. Most "Military Field Radios" can operate from 25 Mhz to 88 Mhz and 108 Mhz to 400 Mhz in steps of 5 kz. 33.0, 33.05, 33.10, 33.15 Mhz. Channels are assigned in blocks or groups and changed daily or weekly. Only Normal Base operations remain on assigned frequencies.

This thread makes me wish I would have wrote down those freqs I use to punch into those Singars when we would go out to Yakistan.

Hey MTM, I remember freq hopping and getting "sucked into the net" cypher text and so on. Is that like trunking?

I don't remember much about the Singars, never really used any of the advanced features. I was a dumb ass tanker so that should explain it.

Thanks

:D :D Yes, I remember frequency hopping. And AM and FM modulation. The good ole days --- BT (Before trunking) and BD (before digital). I do NOT remember using "Spark Gap" modulation. I'm old -- not dead.
