Players report the PACE security base signal is on 71.2 on the Spotting Scope. Scan from the Weather Station once the quest asks for the frequency. Some players got no lock on 71.2, and EA 1.0-7 fixes a reset that hid the signal on older saves.

Tune the scope to 71.2
Several players reached 71.2 by scanning up the dial until the main quest updated, and others confirm it. Two found it listed in an in-game log of about ten frequencies, though the quest doesn't point at that log clearly. Two players who tried 71.2 saw nothing, and others answer that you have to be on the station.
Stand on the Weather Station, where you found the weather data, open the Spotting Scope and tune it to 71.2. The scope should lock and the main quest should update.
EA 1.0-7 (October 31) fixes progress resetting at a specific point at Fort Hannigan after loading a save from before EA 1.0-6, which left players unable to locate the frequency signal. EA 1.0-6 also added better guidance for this objective, so update first. A player who found it, reloaded the next day and lost the marker posted before 1.0-7; whether that save recovered isn't reported.
One player says the game doesn't add the frequency to your detector until you reach that part of the quest. If the objective isn't in your journal (J) yet, finish the weather data first.
Players report that 52.8 is the PACE Antenna, not the security base, and that 15 picks up islands: two destinations, one of them Anchor Reef. Neither moves this objective on.
