Studio Frequencies for Ferndale Movie Shoot

Castle Rock Entertainment / "The Majestic"

Filming has begun...

There are to be a number of UHF (460-band) frequencies I've tried to figure them out
Production Crew:
R = repeater, S=simplex, R/s = may be used either way


Ch 1 - 464.55s -    Primary (big-shots & "calling" frequency) 
Ch 2 - 464.75R/S -  (called "Channel 16" when using their portable repeater)  
Ch 3 - 461.8625s - Transportation
Ch 4 - 461.0875s - 
Ch 5 - 461.8875s - Location/Security & Police/CHP officers 
Ch ? - 461.6875s -
Ch ? - 466.6125s -
Ch ? - 466.8875s
Ch ? - 467.800s
Ch ? - 462.800R/S

They talk about channels numbered all the way from 1 to 17, these are all I've found searching the 461-470 band in 12.5 khz steps.  Channels 1 -5 plus 467.80 have been busiest

Wireless Microphones (where the REAL action is)

The first three are adjacent to TV Channel 4 and may be different in other areas - and many scanners can't receive these freqs.  Also, these are very low power, usually 1/20th watt maximum.  Their receiving antennas are generally mounted on  metal poles in the street as close as possible to the set being used

72.90 MHz  -  Sound & camera techs, some actors when shooting
75.90     "    -  Same, but very best "live action" during actual speaking parts 
73.81     "    -  non-standard freq, may just be an "image" of one of the above

"Standard" Wireless Mic frequencies

    I'd appreciate it if you would take a quick second and click on this...

    .....Thank you!

    Listen to L.A.P.D, "North Hollywood Shootout" radio traffic

     

    I'll be adding and updating these listings from time to time. Check back often (and watch that speedometer-looking thing on the main page whiz around).  Also, there's more good frequency stuff at KF6AAQ's Scanner List  or at Jake Hickock's big ol' honkin' Northern California Scanning and Ham Radio website.

    Also in the meantime, let me know of any errors already, new frequencies, or whatever...right here: [__]
