Scan New England

that would be from across da Pond [United Kingdom] John Based on the FCC CFR we built out the band plans in the Wiki https://www.snewiki.com/wiki/index.php/FCC_VHF_High_Band So either a. someone put in the wrong Freq :) b. Spur from another transmitter c. Rogue [not the first, not the last] unlicens...

Weak into Weymouth, as I had to go to the VHF Omni to even get it

General Quincy/South Shore area.

TGS heard on it include 109, 110.

159.9125 isn't in the standard FCC channel plan, which makes this even more interesting.

Many of our UNIDs, where known by others, so add to the list your UNIDs and maybe someone will see it and tell you who it really is A reminder we have a ever growing-changing list of UNIDs out of the area in the WIKI... https://www.snewiki.com/wiki/index.php/Unidentified_Digital_Radio_Systems_in_our...

So you are going up and changing the cable from Antenna One to Antenna Two each time for testing ? Trying to get a clearer understanding. Also as Jeremy points out, altho the two antennas are in an almost identical position, they are not One could be shading the others reception, or there is somethi...

Are you comparing the Same Freq on both antenna's ? with the same Radio ? Different radios handle the P25 slightly different, especially with Simulcast transmitters [different sites transmitting at the same time - mostly an issue with Trunking] Also it could be something with your cables, connection...

As had been mentioned, always program "ALL" of the Control channels for the Zone/Site you want to monitor, as the Control Channels [CC] do tend to rotate as needed.

Thanks, Chuck and everyone else. That was the issue!

Hope all are doing well/fine as we say good-bye to 2020 which basically "Stink, Stank, Stunk" Did anyone think this year was going to finally end? I want to wish everyone who is a member here a fantastic, healthy and happy New Year! 2020 was a tough year for many, but so many folks managed to stay p...

IF anything is not listed, just means that - No one has shared it, or spent the time [hours/days of monitoring] Keep in mind , tones can be broken down by Company - Engine, Ladder, Ambulance, Rescue, Chief, Quint etc Station - Station 1, Station 2 etc All Call, Working Fire, 2nd Alarm, Coverage Need...

https://www.snewiki.com/wiki/index.php/Massachusetts_Fire_Tone_Outs Nothing different from a normal Monitoring/Scanning. However FTO / aka Pager Tones [Plectron, Motorola etc] do allow you to leave your radio in silent mode, UNTIL your favorite TONES are played [like a FireFighters Pager] Some folks...

Answers to your questions, all are "Depends" - no stock/standard answer. Do you need DMR... who around you is using DMR [mostly business ops, but some government] who do you plan [think future too] on monitoring... see what the Wiki shows currently for that county and state Do you need an external a...

Mounted inside the home office, on a Camera Tripod, Had it for a few years now, used for some of my Event Ops [Amateur at Mt Washington] but finally put it into use with the 898T's I bought from you, that also turned out to be Tapped, so using DSD+, 898T and the Beam http://www.arrowantennas.com/arr...

Starting to look/sound pretty good, getting Masphee UHF RDC NexEdge with the beam aimed North [Back side]

And the usual Lakes Region loud n clear on Disp with stock antennas

Found one we are missing lots of info for our fine wiki, guess some work is seriously needed https://www.snewiki.com/wiki/index.php/New_Hampshire_Commercial_Utilities#New_Hampshire_Electric_Cooperative Con+ on VHF 153.2850 C01 364 New Hampshire Electric Current site: 364-1 https://www.radioreference...

VHF/UHF is wide open, getting MSCommNET from Maine and Lakes Region from NH on stock antennas

See if you can tune to it first, before wasting your time configuring for something out of your range. OK Thanks...I will try to set this up again and see if it works. The problem I was having wasn't reception cause I havent got that far yet. The problem was ERRORS showing up in activity log when I ...

IGNORE the Radius information from RR, it is only an approximation and all depends on your actual set-up [YMMV] I can hear systems well beyond the RR approximations and then there are others I can not hear at all and I am within that radius Also you have gone too deep right away, back out to [back o...

Didn't DSD+ come with many of the major systems already defaulted ? Wow this SDR radio is VERY complicated! I always keep getting screwed up with all the damn NUMBERS!!! It is very cryptic to me still. I would like to have a cheat sheet of ALL the types of protocols (DMR, NXDN, CAP+, P25) and how to...

I would suggest spending time with the documents of DSD+ and your SDR for help. As to a scanner, all depends on the software you are going to purchase/use, many are very intuitive, if you spend time to digest/read thru it more than once and have it avail for reference regularly Not having a DMR Radi...

Yes - DMR Analog = NO PL aka CSQ or with a PL/CTCSS or DCS tone P25 = NAC displayed as N followed by 3 characters which contain 0-9 and the letters A-F ONLY ie: NAFF DMR contain Coloure Codes which are displayed begining with a C and two digits ie: C01 NXDN contain a RAN [Radio Access Number] which ...

Bands appear open this morning although I have not had a lot of time to further investigate.

http://aprs.mennolink.org/

Looks like a whopper of an opening just to our west-southwest though! According to the above map when I looked at it at 0833.

Altho fading away, it seems to be more enhanced now into NH/ME

Pease AFB Fire
WMNF
Acadia NP - Interop
and then BP and other assorted other Federal LE's

You might be right and RR DB Wrong for the CC

No SysID listed, which makes it harder to validate

Not Nova Scotia power?

Nevermind, they are C05

Tried looking them up via RR with the L8 with no luck, never got any voice channels to log either, just the Control
