Some nice hopes that the RED moves East and maybe some PA/OH into MA

MOVED to 9/13

Yes, NH and ME VHF are coming in quite well, as it the Merrimack Valley T-Band

Silence all AM, from the South Shore with a Beam pointed toward Paxton will let it run more thru the PM storms I heard one transmission in Lowell about 4:10 this afternoon, 2 bars on the TRX. Bus 10 clear, have a good night was all that was said. FCC database shows licenses for repeaters in Paxton M...

Thanks
I'm doubt'n Noble as they are simplex and did not have the 2nd freq +5, but then again, stranger things have happened.

I'll reconfirm Monday if Noble (School District 60) buses are still 155.220 S/186.2.

Either Seacoast NH or Southern Maine.

No locations given, but is a Bus/Transportation company.
Was thinking it could be WQBX971 - NOBLE HIGH SCHOOL but they are simplex only

:) Always helps to narrow / rule out the image issue. Yesterday at Pease, I was getting so much DMR from 450/460 in the 406-420 and tones of PD's (Non Maine) in the 162-174, ouch , made it tough to nail down some stuff, but the obvious NAC's helped. Back on topic, maybe they found coverage in the sc...

Would not be the first time, someone set up a VOX Simplex to listen to their Scanner(s)

Years ago (80/90) there was one out in Western MA or Hartford that was patched for the Fire Buffs to monitor

deacon wrote: ↑09 Sep 2023 09:51 Pardon me, no tone displayed. Strong signal from North Mashpee. Still hearing SP and FD's.

Chuck

true, but with 453/460 well occupied......

Looks like the Sewer and Water don't need it anymore if they are giving it to the PD

AJ1L wrote: ↑09 Sep 2023 09:55 Very odd freq for public safety…

451.2750 will be converted to P25 and use the NAC of 73B , over Tue and Wed Hi, heard that this coming week Plymouth PD will be going to P25, 12th I think they said (FB, so, consider the source!) I imagine they'd keep the same frequency, what might the NAC be? Some of the other towns that just went ...

Dave, just to be sure it is not an IMAGE from Hudson PD's main channel, try it on a 2nd Scanner, that is a different MAKE and see if you still get it. There is a frequency that is assigned to the hudson school district and it sounds like PD is simulcast on it? I discovered it the other day. 151.9250...

462.6000 is GMRS not FRS, but what Tone ??

deacon wrote: ↑09 Sep 2023 07:20 Someone messing with FRS this morning?? Hearing some Troop D comms over 462.600.

Chuck

Air Boss is 118.8000

Yankee 43 will be the Openning ACT with the Parachute Jumpers at Noon

The show is scheduled for September 9-10, 2023.

there is regularly MILAIR over the Boston area, units of the MA NG regularly are flying over Boston as well as the routine DHS/USCG Patrols. Rare to catch Radio traffic from them, as they fly in formation Also keep in mind, the Pease Air Show this weekend, many of the Demo teams began arriving Wedne...

more monitoring over time-will tell, but likely these are going to be used for Dispatch-to-Dispatch channels

2506 and 2508 seem to be new TG's We have in the Wiki already 2507 / 40112 as District 7 and 2509 / 40144 as District 8 Yes, they had Dist 7 & 8 patched on the trunk today, 2508 is Dist 8 Fire and TG 2506 also made an appearance as a patch around 6 PM which I would assume is District 6 Fire Talk...

thought to be ICE - part of a Vote-Scan System, however the same NAC is also used by Border Patrol over in Maine unless you can find some other Repeaters that key-up at the same time, as this one, it is nearly impossible to narrow down who, never mind where. Good catch, it's been around for some yea...

Sadly unable to enjoy the "purple today", due to some family events

Lots of Maine/NH and some other unidentifieds

don't forget +/- for those new splinters that would bleed over of 153.3875 and 153.4025 Heard in Falmouth on Thomas B Landers Rd. Some type of security with location/post check ins. Only one I could make out was "Mancester Lane". Freq is in the ranges of other freqs of Plymouth Nuclear Pla...
