Thanks for the new Minneapolis Center Radio, great to have more ARTCC dedicated radios !
The frequency info. posted seems to be based on older data ? According to the latest info. I have (October, 2014) a few sectors have been changed slightly and renamed.
Minneapolis Center (Sector 72 Super Hi) 128.675
Minneapolis Center (Sector 72 Super Hi) 133.275
There is no Sector 72 anymore. 128.675 is now Sector 18, a regular Hi sector, normally FL240 and above (confirmed from listening). There is now a Super Hi Sector 32 extending from FL370 and above that sits on top of Sectors 17, 18, 19, used as required (rarely it seems). So far I have not heard Sector 32 in use and have not been able to confirm the frequency. Anyone know what it is ?
Missing from the radio are the following high altitude frequencies that you should be able to get good reception on. 135.70, 134.25, 133.40, 119.87.
Minneapolis Center (Sector 36 Low) 127.750
Not sure why you have included 127.750, which is far to the south, when you have not included some of the closer adjacent low sectors like 121.025 and 134.850 ?
If it helps at all attached below is my High Altitude Chart for this area with what I believe is the latest info. Any confirmations on Sector ZMP32 appreciated. (you need to be logged onto the website to see the chart, and if you click over the small chart below it should open full size in the thread).
Is there anyway to adjust the scanner speed on this radio (if it is a scanner ?), it seems to be very slow and the beggining of a lot of transmissions are getting clipped (missed) ?
Disclaimer: I'm not complaining, great to have the radio, just some observations.
