300mhz & 500mhz

Iv been scanning those bands with my FTM350 and there is quiet a few repeaters being used and there conversations have a huge load of profanity. its FM that i am listening too.

My question is aren't these Military AIR BANDS?.. it's all i can find info on these frequency's.

I can't comment on what legit services can run repeaters at those frequencies because I don't know and I'm not feeling motivated to Google it. However, you being in Kali it's very possible your hearing bootleg machines. Maybe the freeband marijuana growers or other unsavory characters up in there!

Post up some frequencies!

350.450, 350.540, 350,640.. i will write down the output freq shortly and post them.

One of them identified in a transmission and it was a ham license but i didn't get a chance to write it down. There intelligence must be far to nothing, if every other word is F'in this and F'in that. Must be 435'ers.:angry: AKA "Extra Class CB'ers"

I believe the Navy has some frequencies in that range. Maybe they just cuss like sailors

350.640 it appears this group is in san diago. There not cursing like the other repeater. So what is 300mhz band called ? 80cm ?

Only hams use the meter-measurement lingo like "2 meters"

This area is simply "UHF"

And they are mostly my private bands. Stay off them and stop monitoring my communications

Here is a frequency chart from the NTIA (the Fed's version of the FCC). It shows that 300 MHz to 600 MHz is used by the Fed's as noted in the Activity Code shown at the base (or bottom) of the frequency chart.

To get more specific you would have to google the frequencies, or get them from Monitoring Times Magazine.

Thanks, Mike. Yes the local DEA here uses 405-420mhz give or take. I have the FBI and other agencies as well. Finny thing is these people are hams and dont sound at all like federal employee's. Two of them had a heavy horrible southern accent and there chosen vocabulary was unacceptable.

f you are hearing hams outside the regular 222MHz band or the 70cmband then you are likely picking up intermod. Intermod can be a real problem depending on location to high powered transmitters in the FM and TV bands as well as pretty much any VHF/UHF bands used for business communications.What you have for an antenna and the radio itself all factor into how much intermod you will suffer from. Trying to determine the actual transmission freq. can be a real mathematical nightmare as the combination of mixing freqs. is almost endless.

either that or he may be hearing the input to some (out of band) X band remote bases getting into the .435 machine

I noticed in another post you said the calls sounded like ham calls. I wonder if there are any MARS repeaters out there that may use those frequencies???

My noob Navy MARS call sounded like a ham call..NNNO something or other with an extra letter that designated a training call. Certainly could be mistaken for an amateur radio call.

there may be other sevices that have to ID with a call as well. See if you can write down a call next time your listening to them. That would probably solve the mystery. <proof>

Okay no problem. I 110% know it is not intermod.

How do you know that? You cannot tell simply by listening to a transmission.

He's in the same general area I'm in and there aren't any MARS repeaters in that frequency range.
