Further to my previous post regarding a new 8.33KHz frequency, I have now heard traffic that is working S28 (central UK northbound) being transferred to a frequency of 132.860Mhz. Seems like yet another new 8.33KHz channel being brought into use. I know I have mentioned this in previous posts but if your scanner has the ability to tune in 5KHz steps you will pick up these new channels perfectly well.

Hi Mark
You are right about 132.86. There are in fact 2 new freqs for this sector. 132.12 replaces 131.05 (up to FL330) and 132.860 replaces 129.1 (FL330 up). The latter gets used at busy times but at quieter times (now rare!)it gets relayed through to 132.12. Had to get a new scanner with 8.33 step but it defaults to 132.862. Can hear planes but not controller. Don't pretend to understand the new steps but hoped a radio with 8.33 capability would solve this. Obviously not! Cheers
