Per Pilgrim Nuclear (@pilgrimnuclear): The final, annual siren test for the Pilgrim 10-mile emergency planning zone will commence at 2:00 p.m. today. This is will be a three-minute long siren, residents do not need to do anything during this drill. I wonder if they keep the system for other natural ...

I also heard some brief traffic on 159.7950 with a PL of 141.3. That frequency, without a PL is Holyoke F3 Fireground. Not enough to identify the user.

That could've been Chesterfield DPW. Not sure on the PL, will check my old books when I get home tonight.

To reiterate what Gary just said, the "h" is nothing more than a display character. Just like the MHz at the end of the frequency, it's only used to indicate the NAC format is in hex.
It's not actually in the 3 digit NAC on the scanner, just on the front display.

I’m not really sure. I don’t really member what the control channel was

Color Code, not Control Channel.

Would this indicate the CC is 3?

Having gone to the Garden a number of times for work, and usually having my radio on me, I can tell you from the "off" times of the following. TG 110 is used by the entry gate security to the security office upstairs. If they use the radio, but more often than not, they call. 111 is the primary chan...

Tonight, hearing 600030 via the One Voice network. Crew mentioned "Front St to Hunt St" then "Hunt St to the Cemetery" and "Federal St". The only city that has this combination is Weymouth. Loading and going street by street, I can only guess clearing drains of leaves after the rain. I am not close ...

recently my 996XT keypad stopped working and I am curious as to peoples opinion. Should I look for a used 996XT as they have been discontinued and new ones are not available anywhere or get a new 996p2 I loved the XT for the years I had it so any opinions would be appreciated? Just send it to Unide...

FYI. Tower King II, the crew working on WHDH-TV's tower.

464.5000 173.8 Simplex.

Could hear the guy at the top clear into Sharon!

Tower King has switched to 467.8250 173.8.

ITI Towers, working on the Cedar St American Tower are 462.6625 D032, confirmed today.

Those are the standard channels used system-wide throughout the chain. However, the actual use in each store varies I've found out.

Some people have reported hearing data on 467.7500 and thought it to be related to Target, however I've heard paging on 467.7500 and have been no where near Target.

For some reason I had to rescan again now all is back?? But I'm getting some very weak weird signals on 45-x channels now??

That's probably WCEA-LD, the LP station on the Hancock tower. They are going to 36 before 2021.

I'm not getting channel 7 or its sub channels tonight. Nor am I getting 38.1, 2,3 or 4??

38 is still on their post repack channel 21 transmitter. I was standing in front of it about 3pm today, and it's still up at 11kW.

Not sure if 7 went off or not for the tower work.

I would expect from Middletown, you'd be able to get it. I know there is a North Zone site on the Water Tank at Kent Heights in East Providence, that is probably almost LOS to Middletown.

I live in Taunton, 15-20 miles east of the state and can get the North Zone here.

https://www.fcc.gov/about-fcc/fcc-initiatives/incentive-auctions/transition-schedule The official schedule. Everyone in this area is done by Phase 7. I believe Burlington-Plattsburgh has some Phase 8 or 10 stations. Albany has a couple of 10's as well. Southern New England is all 7, at the latest ho...

Boston channels 7, 38, and 56 disappeared Saturday morning. Knowing that repack is going on, I rescanned about noon on Saturday and channel 38 reappeared. Channels 7 and 56 have still not reappeared- are they having technical problems? I also saw a chyron on Providence channel 10 WJAR last night, s...

They have 484 MHZ systems too. https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=2631535 These are quite active in Boston too, most with really good signals as well. I can receive a few of them here in Taunton without much effort. So I would assume the 480 systems on the Cape would have...

Spent time in NYC for NAB NY, and took the very scenic ride home through CT. In Stamford 461.3500 D132 - Stamford Square? 462.2625 D627 - Stamford HS?

Hi! Welcome again to Scan New England. An announcement today on New User Registrations. Our "user database" is getting out of control. There are hundreds of registered users on this forum who have not made a single post during their time here. One of the nice things about this forum is, it is setup ...

Also, sorry this is off the DMR topic, but I also could not confirm the Shattuck or the Carney on their analog channels listed in the Wiki. Has anyone recently confirmed those? What does the confirmation column say? That's your answer. If it is outdated, then it needs to be researched for it. (Whic...

That is the East Bay Fire Channel. It exists in the wiki already.

Thanks for the submission.

They are installing equipment for the new side mount broadband antenna that will become the interim main, while the post repack antennas on the tower are installed.

Edit. To confirm that is exactly what they did. They are now running on their interim main at 982 feet.

I moved this to the New Hampshire forum. The Database Submission Forum is for confirmed use only.
Speculation should remain in the regional forums. With that said, this is one to get info on in a thread here.

So it's moved.

In a word, huh?

Was out in Chicago and saw a few of those announcements as well, due to their Repack/changes I saw a notice on the Channel 7 website that there is another rescan on October 19. Is that just to find them, or is there another realignment. Chicago is Phase 6, which happens to be the current phase we'r...
