When I summered (70's-2k) just south of you (Bristol) the activity was interesting, and reception did vary with one flight over us and the others they were chatting with over the ocean or Burlington/Plattsburgh, weaker Oh for sure I need an FM trap. I'm within a mile or so as the crow flies from mul...

I would look thru the WIKI for the Military and MilAir https://www.snewiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=295.8000&go=Go and populate your radios with the current known from here in New England Welcome to the forurms How close are you to the 94.1 transmit site ? you might w...

Only thing I've had on that Freq is SS Hosp EMS, but will swing the beam around and see what hits in a S/SW direction Not strong enough to decode. Except for the color code of 07 Could be in New Bedford. Not in Providence or any site line there, nor up in Plymouth County. Frequent, round the clock r...

You need to use the "SEARCH" out to usually the 4th character after the decimal point (unless a real splinter with a 5th character)

ie: 154.145 would be searched as 154.1450

Seems to be resolved as of today - much better audio sounds like there is a fault in one of the voting receivers because its keying the BFD1 repeater for less than a second with no audio and just tone keying coming out of the comparator. Very typical in these old copper spectra-tac voted systems. BF...

Anyone notice how poor the Ch-1 audio is today ?
Great Signal, but between the hetrodyne and muffled audio - ugh

Wonder if this is related to some of the on-going work on the Pru

OK - figured it out, the Merr Co Police Page... was looking for the bad info on the SO Page...

Wiki updated

Claim to fame is those guides, which got me into the Library of Congress

Anyone try searching to see where they might be ?

I just did an FCC search and see a bunch of new frequencies under WRCK783

MURS doesn't require licenses from the FCC
https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.p ... io_Service
they are licensed by Rule

See you at the FLEA and then Brothers

For many agencies, Codes etc have not changed since the 70's
and many of us, - even former Editors/Co-Authors still rely on it, Police Call, Scanner Master for the sometimes Historical and other times Hysterical info

too far away for me to run from home, but was out for lunch with friends in Reading on Saturday with my P25 only scanner and got some DMR on two frequencies which some prior threads/wiki seem to point to NXDN for the MVRT 471.6750 and 471.1750 for anyone who wants to add some overdue confirmations t...

Was just gonna dig out one of me ole "Official Scanner Guides" and post the same

Thanks Greg for the update, modified the Wiki for a better description as well... Tac 10 and 11 are training channels. Tac 12 is encrypted... Otherwise, Bill's suggestion is fairly spot on. If you don't want to hear the run of the mill stuff, only put in Ops A, Ops B, and Ops D. They are North, Sout...

Well first P25 doesn't have PL tones All Dispatch is thru that main TG - All Fire Services (Medical, Low Battery Alarms, odd smells, smoke etc) You could only scan the Ops-A thru Ops-D and Tac 10 thru Tac-12 (aka Fireground) but then you won't know the address they were dispatched to.. It seems that...

Thanks - well overdue and the VHF High updated them as well for 2023 since you indicated "still patched"

did you accidentally turn on the "attenuation" either globally or that one frequency ? Just curious if anyone else has seen this (Rochester area), I am no longer able to receive NOAA (162.450) on my 3 scanners when it used to be nice and clear with great reception. It still receives on my ...

it may have already been stressed, but keep in mind, sometimes TOO Much antenna can be the issue Some folks have had luck with the 'distortion" of simulcasting by using a paperclip Here's what I did and found. Uniden BCD536hp, Tram Discone antenna on top of a 25 foot mast. 1000 feet above sea l...

Awesome Thanks

Guess who will be looking for a new BNC/BNC 6' cable at the Whitman Flea , if not then Hosstraders
went back to my Telescoping whip and wow, what a signal now. Odd as the bad cable/BNC was only impacting VHF

Nice work
Wonder if the same radios will be used at the new facility in Stoughton to open this year.

Glad you figured out the PL/DPL issue with that model radio

and the Wiki has been updated
