CAP Radio Comm System Transition Has Begun

According to field reports, CAP has begun the transition to their new narrowband frequencies in several states. That means they are moving towards the new 12.5 kHz frequencies in the 138-144 and 148-150.8 MHz ranges. Time to dust off the old search buttons on our scanners and see what this super secret branch of our imperial government has finally moved to.

Any and all field reports are welcomed here and will be shared. Those wishing to remain anonymous will be so.

Below are my previous post on this blog on what use to be a mighty fine organization, who got themselves caught up in the post 9/11 DHS web of money, secrecy, and fraud, waste and abuse.

I have also listed the old and new CAP frequencies in our annual airshow guide.

The 2009 guide should be published online early next month on the MT website.
