[radio_ryan]

Good Afternoon All

i have noted a n ew staion come on the air in the in the Ashfield and MAnsfield Area on VFO 165.605. i have trted getting in on the 6.25 step with out luck. you may get it on 165.606.25.

it sound like radio ham but i check all the 2 meter band and can not find them, but they have not used any call.

is there nay who can have a listen to see if they can it better than me.

thank you

[SuperChef82]

Well have a listen and let you know.

[Andrew]

The correct frequency will be either 165.600, 165.6125, or at a push, 165.5875. In that area it's 12.5 k steps only.

good evening andrew tryed the 6.25 steps has a bove, i would go for 165.606.25

Sorry Andrew i do not think it would be 12.5 has i looked around on 165.00 and 165. 010 and 165.612.5 it was NOT there. at my QTH, that why i gave the peak VFO has above.

In case you haven't worked it out, 6.25 is half of 12.5. The allocations were / are implemented by a government department, not me!!! From at least 163 - 170 mHz the allocated frequency spacing is 12.5. When I did a blew dust off the 'legendary' proma online database and searched 166.3 - 167 mHz for Nottinghamshire, all I got was:

Good Afternoon Andrew

Sorry to say this, but i tryed 12.2 and 6.25 steps and it only was 165.005. i said 165.006.25 is the closest to it.

just wonted to know if anyone could get it better than i was getting it for my log and what it could be.

[radtech]

It will be 12.5kHz spaced, no question.

If you can't receive it clearly using 12.5kHz spacing then it's probably an 'image' of another strong signal confusing the receiver.

[Andrew]

Thank you, thank you, thank yoooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!


I was inches away from asking if the East Midlands had it's own version of the radio spectrum!

There is a centre frequency, which has a bandwidth of so many kHz depending on where you are in the spectrum, and the frequency his radio seems to be locking into either the upper or lower. I was begining to feel alone in a crowd.

I had an AR 8200 years ago, and if the AFC was on it locked onto just slightly off the actual centre frequency. On my 3500 now I get hits of something like 449.39975 on the screen from security at the local jobcentre when in there, but the actual frequency is 449.400.

There are oodles of people out there knowing that the spacing is 12.5 kHz, I'm just glad finally someone agrees with me.

good Morning,

i know the 12.5 steps are there, but the only place it was was on that VFO dead.

i will say what i was not going to say. due to i feel it not nice, what if it was a group of people or some one, who just deside they will sit there and use their VFO.

i like to play with diffrent steps we know it 12.5, but i like the 6.25 steps

sometimes you find thing using that step and sometime i use 5. that in all placers in the in VHF and UHF. you never know what you may just find.

why i could not get it on 165.000 or 165.012.5 i do not know.

i am open to any idear and learning form others within fourms. that why i posted the VFO to see if any one could get it, has it did not sound right or look right in the place it was.

[StoatTB]

It's highly unlikely that the users of this frequency have a VFO, as this is usually limited to amateur radios. It's more probable that they'd have channelised radios with specific frequencies assigned to that channel number. There's a slim chance that you've stumbled across an out-of-band transmission or something that's out-of-tune, but to be honest I doubt that.

Have you got another of model of scanner that you can verify your findings on?

[RogerD]

First it was near 165.6, now it's 165.0 ?
Can you confirm where, exactly?!

It's highly unlikely, given the bandwidth of a scanner, that something centered on xxx.00625 can't be heard almost as well on xxx.005
- BUT in this part of the spectrum the 12.5kHz steps are used, as others have already pointed out. Having said that, I did have a case locally a few years back that was off tune and halfway between channels on the base side! I had to see where the mobiles were TXing to see where the base should have been!

So, listen for the mobile side of things at 4.8 higher if it's 165.6, or 4.5 lower if it's 165.0, then you'll know if it's genuine or not.

good Morning


yes 2 handhels scanners and a base scanner, them i have my 2 VHF/UHF ham radios.

i would go for my self out of band transmission, i check 2 meters but no one of there

i checked out a number of days befor posting it and after they where still there.

if it the thired aremonac where would the best place to look, could it be 4 meters or 6 meters i heard/hearing. but they did not send any call signs.

but if it help i had it on 2 diffrent radio a Yaesu and Icom.
