Hi all,

Where are the correct ACARS freq to be find< i have found this web site https://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/Aircraft_Communications_Addressing_and_Reporting_System_(ACARS) (https://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/Aircraft_Communications_Addressing_and_Reporting_System_(ACARS)) but i also found on google that Europe has more then the 4 on that webpage:

131.525 MHz   European Secondary
131.725 MHz   Europe Primary
131.850 MHz   New European Channel

But on google i also found:
European New 136.750
European Sec 136.900

And do i need to put all those freq in the Build-in radio or does the sbs-3 automatic scans the freq

The SBS-3 radio receiver is NOT a scanner.  You have to manually set the required frequencies.

See page 72 of the BaseStation Reference Manual.

Try using Google.

These are the UK and European freqs
131.525 
131.725
131.850
136.750
136.900

In the Netherlands I get most traffic on 131.825, slightly less on 131.725 and only a little bit on 131.525.

Nothing on mentioned 131.850, 136.750 and 136.900.

Thanks for the info, im here also getting more on 131.725 and 131.825. Do you know any tool to decode some acars info? Or is this impossible to decode?
