| − | Welcome to the Military Monitoring Glossary. Every service has its own slang; as listeners in the public safety sector,

| − | we hear it all the time - 10 codes, abbreviations and more. The military service is no different; but as you begin to
| |
| − | listen to this realm more closely, you realize that their slang is a lot more involved and complex.
| |
| | | | |
| − | This page doesn't attempt to define all the things you might hear - it would easily take a whole book to define that. But
| + | |Image={{{Image|}}}| |

| |

| |
| | | | |
| − | The format used here is very simple - on purpose. This page should be as easy to search as it is to read. To that end,

| − | * '''[[380 Mhz LMR Band]]''': The frequencies in the range between 380 and 399.9 mhz are slowly being converted over to a mix of APCO P25 trunking systems, Aeronautical operations and other modes. This is happening at all military and federal installations nationwide. Currently only the Uniden [[BCD396T]] handheld, and the [[BCD996T]] desktop scanners are capable of tracking these systems. Other digital trunktrackers may listen to these frequencies in a conventional mode, but will not track them. The [[Pro-96]] and [[Pro-2096]] may listen on these frequencies conventionally, and use the PRO96Com utility to read their control channel ''when the system is utilizing a 9600 baud control channel''.
