Robins AFB TRS

On 14 January, I took a trip to the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins with my friends Dan, KF4MND and Guy, K4GTM. It had been awhile (apparently since 2007 as near as I can tell) since I had been to the museum and they have had some changes for the good since that last visit. They have built a built a third hangar and have been able to move even more aircraft inside out of the elements. A Thunderbirds F-16 and an MH-53J Pave Low have been added to their inventory. A neat feature has been added to the second hangar - a second level houses the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame and allows you to look down upon the SR-71 and U-2 and level with the MH-53J! A great museum just continues to get better; if you've never been there plan a trip - you'll enjoy it.

While there at the museum, I took the opportunity to monitor the Robins AFB TRS. Since my last visit, the system has become mixed mode; they are now incorporating P25 digital talkgroups. The digital talkgroups were in the 4#### range and appear to be used by the 116th Air Control Wing. All of their previously heard 8### talkgroups were silent. With the demise of the 19th ARG, their talkgroups in the 16### range were also silent. I have combined this trip with previous monitoring of the system to form this list:

406.3625, 406.7625, 407.1625, 407.3625, 407.9625, 408.1625, 408.7625, 409.1625, 409.5625
