Scan New England

Well I found out that the official hotel is full. I'm in the unofficial hotel and will be looking for a new bar I think.

Why he is using a Regency Monitoradio 8 like most of us. What are you using Mr. Fancy pants Scanner Master kid? You probably get all the crystals you want!

To blow you that far that really is quite some storm!

Yes they are back. Thanks all.

Thank you! And I can see that my Cape Cod units received their test fine. Alert Received at 08/30/23 11:00:55 on monitor #3 Matched Filter RWT The National Weather Service has issued a Required Weekly Test for Dukes, MA, Nantucket, MA, Barnstable, MA, Plymouth, MA, and Bristol, MA beginning at 11:00...

I don’t think Paxton National Weather Service/NOAA weather is working? I just noticed WSRS and WTAG missed the weekly Required test and listening to their receivers I’m just getting a hum. Can anyone to the west verify that the 162.550 transmitter has no audio? It is not currently listed as down. ht...

XTS's are too old to do phase 2

Western MA is currently FDMA only just Phase 1. The 700 Overlay, Massport, Cambridge and Worcester are new enough that they adjust by the radios affiliated. If a talkgroup is all Phase 2 type radios the talkgroup will go Phase 2. If a Phase 1 radio joins it will revert back to phase 1. However as me...

From the tv news it sounds like Boston had similar episodes at South Bay Plaza and then later at Downtown Crossing.

Very good time and very good weather! Great to see you Jeff and Bill! It was also great to meet several more Scan.NE.net users up close and personal. Great group here thank you all for being such great members of this site and keeping us all up to date. John K1BOS Super Idiot

Tim has decided not to bring his trunk.

Alright it's going to rain tomorrow but we can all watch the Patriots game at the bar and talk on P25 all day! Still not a bad day. Be there or be square!

Weather is starting to look a little bit better for Saturday. I'll be there all three days either way. I already have a table spot but your neighbors will always help you watch your table. You can probably set up near us or folks you know. The GEMOTO 900 Repeater will be on site all three days. W1NA...

Today I overheard Troopers trying to figure out what several Taunton police units had. One mentioned to another we don't get them anymore. The other trooper said they are now encrypted. First time I have heard discussions by public safety about it. It was interesting.

Cool Kids I was waiting to see if we were going to have a P25 trunk at this like NEAR-Fest but I don't think we are. So now that Westborough is back that should blanket the area so lets all make sure we are ready for Westborough P25 on the grounds. 448.775 NAC 353. If you have an extra P25 radio bri...

I think the other thing that folks outside these Cities and Town's might not realize is these are not the same trucks that are used for transports. These units are all say "Newton Paramedic 6" and Serving the City of Newton. They park in the Fire stations etc. Same for Waltham, Medford etc...
