Title: KJFK-Delivery ATC-chatter unavailable?
Post by: Susan27 on July 28, 2008, 10:33:43 AM

Hi,

I have this question concerning the KJFK Ground-feed:

There is this feed here named "Delivery/Ground" (I dont know the frequency in MHz).

But when I tune into this feed I "only" listen to GND-chatter of KJFK-apt, but never delivery-chatter (like SIDs, route clearences, start-up clr etc.). What I am doing wrong here...?

Is there another "special" feed for KJFK-Delivery, if so, where can I find it...?

Many thanks! :-)

They are combined on one feed for now.  May have a separate feed when the JFK feed is located.

Two possibilities:

1) Ground is so busy that it is blocking delivery when you listen.
2) Scanner is stuck on a ground freq for some reason.

Can't be sure because the equipment is remote and not remotely controllable.

So someone (the "feeder"?) set the scanner the way that the ground freq is in priority (priority channel or how is this solved on the scanner side?) according to the del freq?

Could you give me a hint who to call in order to re-ask the right person for that "problem"...?

Thanks again! :-)

Ill have a look out for it, but I think its scanning both frequencies.

Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks Lezam for your work! :-) Could you please give a small note here if you checked (fixed?) the scanner...? I ll then tune in at once because I love Delivery/Clearance at big hotspots like JFK...

Thanks very much!
