Hill AFB Trunk Radio System


This week we are featuring a trunk radio system from the western states - Hill Air Force Base in Utah. Hill Air Force Base is an Air Force Materiel Command base located in northern Utah. Hill is home to many operational and support missions, with the Ogden Air Logistics Center (OO-ALC) serving as the host organization. The center provides worldwide engineering and logistics management for the F-16 Fighting Falcon, A-10 Thunderbolt II, Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile. The base performs depot maintenance of the F-16, A-10 and C-130 Hercules aircraft.

The last report we have on this trunk radio system is a little over a year old. At the time Hill AFB was using a Motorola Type II trunk radio system (MOT ID 6227).
For scanner owners use a base frequency of 406.000 MHz, 25-kHz spacing, and an offset of 380.

System Frequencies:
406.1500 406.7500 406.9500 407.2500 407.5250 408.0250 408.5500 408.9500 409.1500 409.7500
