Talkgroup 268 is on Slot 1 Color 12. I have also logged two other talkgroups (? what they are) on the same 155.1300 DMR ra...

As an addendum to my post above, DMR Talkgroup 271 on 155.1300 is using Slot 2 Color 12 with the same Radio ID format as the main Talkgroup 268. Talkgroup 271 appears to be a secondary Talkgroup/Channel with infrequent use compared to Talkgroup 268. There was fully encrypted radio traffic that I log...

I've been tempted to get one of these, though Mass SP Zone 5 is still SmartZone and is most of what I listen to on 800 MHz.

The Race Control is utilizing Marine 78A (156.9250) as they did last year to coordinate boats leaving and...

...Med Tech is somewhere and since it appears that the Johnston analog site is shut down, the MotoTrbo system makes sense. Now, the trick is to figure out where they are...

Further listening may reveal clues if this is strictly a TG for Access Ambulance or if i...

I don't know of anyone specific in your area but, if one exists, I would suggest you contact a local full-service TV sales/repair shop in your area that does OTA TV antenna installations as I'm sure they would be able to install an antenna mast for you. The other option (although it might be more co...
