Scan New England

True, I'm making an assumption it's Zone 04. That being said 855.5375 was the primary control channel for a LONG time. I'm taking a guess that perhaps it was not programmed as such and that's now why the OP is having a problem receiving the system. But you could be entirely correct. I'm sure we'll f...

I use CC 859.2375. I seem to get all of the Cape PD & FD.

What he said! The CC did rotate to 859.2375 a few weeks ago and has been constant there since. If you're not programmed for that to be a CC you should. Check the wiki and ensure you have all of the CC's for the system programmed.

Try it now; it appears to be fixed. This looks like an oversight on my part, back to the days where I ran the website. I had to change a setting and then re-index the database. But, I just did a search on Boston Fire and it worked.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

US Coast Guard Sector Northern New England heard on 157.100 here a short time ago.

Slim pickings overall, but a few more...

154.8375 97.4 Douglas MA Police
154.1600 D125 Gloucester MA Fire
453.6500 131.8 Boston Fire Alerting
453.7625 N270 Marshfield MA Police
155.4900 D331 Monson Police

Seems like a bit of an opening from my location (Cape Cod) to the north. Nothing spectacular by any means, thus far anyway.

156.2100 94.8 Webster MA Police
154.1000 94.8 Richmond RI Police
155.5800 94.8 Dunstable or Groton MA Police

I'm sure there will be more. I had a nice 94.8 PL run there....

Cool, thanks for the info.

This opening is likely to go away with the rain, but that said just heard Bay of Fundy Radio on Marine CH12 (156.600).

Both Canadian Maritime Weather channels are strong here....161.650 and 161.775 in English right now.

MSCommNet in here as well. Bill, out of curiosity what are you using for a beam? I don't recall (or missed) you mentioning it before.

Environment Canada weather loud and clear on 161.775. MSCommNet here as well. 151-156 area is loaded with signals.

I can't get the map to open anymore on my desktop at work. The last few times I've tried, its always come up blank. Does work fine on my phone however. Maybe you should blast? I'd blast... "This ain't gonna woik...we'll have to blast!" - Larry Fine Band seems open to the north. Some MSCommNet activ...

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

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.

Very surprised to see that this is still an active opening. Still seeing/receiving MSCommNet control channels here this morning, 152.8475 being the current.

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

Yep, that rain to the south is cutting that path off unfortunately. Still hearing a lot of MSCommNet stuff.

And yet more...VHF-HI still rages on...UHF has died off. 154.8375 97.4 Douglas MA Police 154.8225 206.5 Androscoggin County Sheriff Dispatch 154.2575 82.5 Ashaway RI Fire 155.3175 167.9 Plaistow NH Fire 154.1300 74.4 New Haven CT Fire 155.2050 162.2 Putnam County NY EMS 155.7300 192.8 York ME Police...

Sadly it looks like this will come to an end at some point today. Radar showing rain moving up and eventually into our area. That'll kill it. But as Mike says one of the best in a long time. Still very active right now.

VASTARS Site 27 from Edgehill Virginia (Kings County) very strong right now. 152.2175 control channel.

502.1375 OneVoice Network 171, Site 29, Barnegat - Ocean County NJ.

Thanks much, Eric!

Network 123, site 3. "TRBOCOM" in Monmouth County NJ. Con+ DMR system.

OneVoice DMR Network 171 site 7 with control channel of 472.8875, and Network 171 site 69 (Boston) with control channel of 472.450.

Edit: 471.9625 171-30

Edit again: 471.8875 171-8.
472.0625 171-5

460.500 NAC 1A1 Manchester Township NJ P25 trunked system. Other frequencies are 453.950, 460.100, 460.200, 460.325. Very strong right now.

This is where using SDR technology can become a little overwhelming. Look at all those signals between 151 and 155 MHz. This is using my IC-R8600 with SDR#. This is the best opening I've seen in a long time.

I activated the NYPD system on my 996P2 and they are blasting in at full scale. For those that may have an interest in DX'ing but you think you don't have a good enough antenna system to do so, this is one of those openings where you probably don't need one. I've gone out in my backyard and listened...

Now VASTARS from Accomack VA, 159.1125, P25 Control Channel.... Site:BEE00.19E-1.13 with a NAC of 19C. Very strong!

Now I have L7-20 on 157.545. Also just heard USCG Delaware Bay on 156.800.
