Bob Grove
On a recent vacation excursion to Cancun in the Yucatan Peninsula of
Mexico, Bob Grove took his scanner (of course). He reported that most activity
was in VHF high band and UHF, with channel steps of 25 kHz on both bands.
Repeaters were common. Bob wished his Spanish language skills were better
to ID these transmissions. As with most tourist spots, most communications
are conducted by hotels, transportation, and public safety.
The hottest voice activity seemed to be centered around: 148-149 153-161 451-458 461-469 Digital paging: 151.300 151.350 152.150 152.250 Aeronautical comms used 100 kHz channel separations: 118.6 (Tower) 127.8 (ATIS) 127.7 (ATC) 125.8 128.2 Airport terminal communications 159.400 159.900 160.350 160.425 163.500
