380-400 MHz Aero ATC Frequencies

On one of the forums on RadioRef there seems to be some confusion recently regarding the frequency usage in this new subband. Contrary to a couple of reports this band is "not" now or will it be in the immediate future totally LMR.

As I have previously reported in my Monitoring Times Milcom column this new subband will be a mix of aero; wideband signals; and simplex, repeater, and trunk radio systems.

As I pointed out on that RadioRef forum I have identified 39 frequencies that will remain FAA/DoD Air Traffic Control assignments. These frequencies are as follows:

380.0000 380.0250 380.0500 380.1000 380.1500 380.2000 380.2250 380.2500 380.3000 380.3500 380.6000 381.4000 381.4500 381.5000 381.5500 381.6000 381.6500 382.0000 384.4000 385.4000 385.4250 385.4500 385.5000 385.5500 385.6000 385.6500 387.0000 387.0250 387.0500 387.0750 387.1000 387.1500 388.2000 390.8000 391.9000 392.0000 392.1000 397.8500 397.8750 397.9000 MHz (AM mode)

You want more goodies including frequency assignments in this new subband you will need a Monitoring Times subscription. That is what pays my bills and put food on ye ole table. ;-))
