Frequency Question?

[jras20]

I have a quick question, if someone could help me, I just always wondered, what frequencies are Ham radios/CB radios are in? In one of my area that is out in the country I can get a real strong signal thats I think in 149.???? mhz I cant remember the excact number, but would that be a ham radio frequency?

Yeah, 149 MHz falls into the 2 meter amateur band. You can see a list of ham frequiencies on the ARRL website. [pdf]CB (11 meters) is just below the Amateur 10 meter band. That runs from 26.965MHz to 27.405MHz. Hope this helps73, KB2MOB

149 isn't in 2m... 2m is 144-148... 149 would be considered in the public safety band.73 de K5MLK

147 mHz would put you dead on in the 2-meter amateur band. 73!

Yep! My Bad.... Apologies

I think 149 is also used for Civil Air Patrol. Here in E Tn. it was used at one time as a CAP packet frequency....Tim-KD4RNC

Maybe I am asking this question to the wrong people, but you seem to be knowledgably. Living in Johnson County Texas, Lillian area, I am trying to find scanner frequencies for the local volunteer fire department. And I think there is a frequency that they use to talk to county and state fire departments. Am I off base here? I would like to program them into my older Radio Shack scanner just so I can see what is going on when I hear the sirens, but can not for the life of me find any active numbers. I did ask one of the volunteers and he gave me a run around, basically, if you are not a fireman you don't need those numbers.. Ideas? Thanks.

Kind of doupt that they did, but they could of went digital, I know some of the police frequencies in Austin went digital already my scanner no longer picks it up.

154.3100 Lillian Volunteer Fire DepartmentIf you are looking beyond Lilliam itself, try this url:<http://www.cityfreq.com/>Main page lets you choose the state. Pick Texas as an example. Then it gives all the communities, cities, burgs, maybe even counties, for Texas. The above, for the LVFD is the only listing for Lillian. Ddin't for you county or any surrounding areas because I don't know what surrounds Lillian.This help?FredW2KTV

www.cityfreq.comVFD used to be dispatched/paged at around 40 mHz (37.900 in Smith County, TX).You might also monitor 150-160 mHz to see what you can find. If all else fails, do a Goooooooogle search.73s!

ACTUALLY 149 is US Government band....(148-150 is)....Thats where MARS has freqs in and so does other groups like CAP, etc (there is one CAP freq iirc that is in the 149MHz range)
