Scan New England

Just a reminder to all interested hams that the first SNE Net is coming up on Wednesday 12/6 at 8PM ET. I have seen some activity on there which is great. Please check in if you can and don't hesitate to use the TG for chit chat at any time. Hopefully we can have some fun with this going forward.

Anyone else with any updates on this? I see no changes on the cape. Same deal as I outlined earlier on the Kingston site.

Nice! They are super-fast to be certain. I checked in to the Scanner Junkies net on TGIF last Thursday evening. (TG 1033 weekly at 8PM ET). I made an announcement there that we are going to try to run a net on 26480 with next Wednesday being the start date. I did notice on the control panel of the T...

There will never be a new ProVoice system, period. And as mentioned definitely none on Cape Cod.

Gary, all I know of for ProVoice in TX was San Antonio but they moved to a P25 Phase II system.

The Openspot 4 Pro, especially if you are going to cross mode, as the encode/decode is done by hardware instead of software. I've had good reports cross moding from YSF to DMR. It also is very easy to set up and manipulate.

I would like to shoot for Wednesday December 6 at 8 PM ET for a net, if anyone is interested in doing so. Also, each Thursday at 8 PM there is a net on TGIF TG 1033, which is "The Scanner/SWL Junkies" talkgroup. I'm going to try to check into that net on 11/30 and will make a notification ...

Happy Thanksgiving All, It's good to see everyone's comments and @jbella, now I know you have actual hands on experience with this stuff. I don't believe I was aware of that prior to today, although it's entirely possible I could have forgotten as well or not drawn that conclusion from prior posts. ...

Dispatch center 'managers' are only interested in compliance, not job performance and not the results out in the street. I'm not sure where you're coming from with this gem. Of the almost 34 years I dispatched, 26 of them were spent as the department's communications supervisor. Your statement, in ...

Curious as to why you don't think PD communications should ever be regionalized? I may be a bit biased in my opinion on this, given my profession for almost 34 years. Here on Cape Cod, dispatchers wear many hats. Not only are they the front lines and the triage for their departments, they do a lot ...

Might I suggest adding this to the front page of the website at all for those that may start at it before coming into the forums. This doesn't surprise me in the least, it is a sign of the times.

It's a small campus. Maybe yelling loudly?

They have not or I'm completely missing something. Nor should PD communications ever be regionalized. Fire and EMS benefit from it. Combining police dispatch down here would not.

Cape Cod Mall Security disappeared from their DMR setup on 462.450 quite some time ago. They are likely using a non-standard type of system for their comms now, read: we can't hear it. As to CCCC, I used to hear occasional traffic on their analog 800 MHz frequency but haven't heard a peep on the all...

Saw an N1DQQ check into the TG this morning but missed him by a few minutes. I have a little Samsung USB monitor that I added onto one of my PC's, and I moved a browser window onto it that constantly shows activity for just the 26480 talkgroup, so even if I'm not monitoring and see something pop up ...

Had a nice chat with John on 26480 so he got it set up correctly. Glad to see the participation thus far. If anyone needs any help getting going please post in this thread. Thanks.

Thanks for the responses thus far; hopefully they will continue. I'll be leaving the TG on when things are idle here and will answer anyone's call if/when I can. I can see on my dashboard when people check in anyway so if I don't answer I'll respond here. It's a relatively easy process once you get ...

Basically it means that unless you have a computer that is running Linux operating system, you can't provide a feed.

Ah okay, I get it now, you didn't have a DMR ID. Move along, nothing to see here, kids. Well hopefully we'll get some interest in this. Rick/N1RCW and I tested it last night and it's working fine.

This is the TGIF Network? That's odd, I didn't get prompted to upload a license when I registered.

Hello all, I've been approved for a Scan New England talkgroup on the TGIF DMR Network. The TG is 26480. Hopefully anyone on here that has a hotspot and can access the TGIF network will join in. Please respond here if interested. Thought it might be fun to set up a net, whether it be monthly, bi-wee...

Regardless of who is running this, I'm not sure (or I'm entirely missing) why there is not a PC option for uploading/sharing data. I would do so if so. I run dump 1090 on an always on PC that serves other things, and watch the data locally using Virtual Radar Server, a simple and effective setup. I ...

A few more but it's in a fade right now.

39.220 192.8 CHP White 3 - South Los Angeles
39.880 118.8 CHP Beige 1 - Base - Rancho Cucamonga

Lots of strong VHF Low band signals in the 39 MHz area. 39.400 186.2 CHP (California Highway Patrol) Gold 2 - Santa Fe Springs 39.720 162.2 CHP Gray 1 - Base - Westminster 39.260 118.8 CHP Copper 1 - Base - Arrowhead / San Bernardino 39.440 146.2 CHP Purple 2 - Base - Santa Ana 39.820 156.7 Pending ...

Apparently whatever caused the issue has been corrected. It's been quiet for some time now.

A while back, when Dukes County (Marthas Vineyard) switched to P25, 154.8225 was found to be one of the frequencies in use there, with a NAC of D10. Tonight, "something" is apparently getting into the input of the repeater. I am hearing traffic pertinent to the Henry Hudson Parkway, and EM...
