Scan New England

I don't think any of those are still made, are they?

I get reasonable low band with my new Tram 1410, but the 1411 would be better. Both are discones, but the 1411 has a whip on top.

Great. Thanks. Do you have any idea who the other ambulance company on that system might be?

We have that on the Wiki here, including 463.250 and the TG. The question I had is if they are still using the system or if MedStar had absorbed them. Which is what it appears has happened as clicking on a link to Pioneer brought me to the MedStar website.

My wife wanted to go to Northampton today, so we took a road trip. I had the SDS200 on in the truck and listened while we were driving around. I didn't have time to sit and listen for a prolonged period of time. It's sort of quite without Springfield PD, but that's how it goes. Anyway, the only thin...

No.

The "h" indicates that the NAC is in hex format. It's not removable because the scanner adds it into the display.

OH, and RR has very good information on the TD Garden system, including TGs and users.

If he's using DSDPlus, which is what it looks like, that appears to be a pseudo network ID. I generally use a four digit number for that, but there is no requirement other than that there be one for DSDPlus to track Cap+ systems. The system requirements for trunking in DSDPlus are, Protocol, Network...

I don't recall the details of the layout, but those different Security TGs might be for different seating levels in the Garden.

Can you post what you have for LCN/frequency combinations?

Nice set up!

Current repair price is $89.95, including shipping for the 996XT. I paid that to repair a loss of reception issue with my 536HP. Along with the latest firmware upgrade, I was so pleased with the results that I decided to keep that scanner and retire my WS1065 instead.

Thanks for the information. I think I've heard their Channel 2 once since they've had it. I think "force voting" is making that particular site be the one that the console hears. That would be a way of testing each receiver site under controlled circumstances to make sure that they are all on line. ...

Something like that is possible. I think Vital Ambulance has gone to a similar service.

I wonder if the Zello app. is being used by any public service and/or ambulance service??? I use it for family comms, works really well. Digital, encrypted and great coverage.

There will be more, including at least one more on the North Shore within a month or so. That's a tease! :) I expect as systems upgrade hardware, they will be moving to digital. It's also interesting that towns are upgrading T band equipment since they are all supposed to be moving off of 470.000 an...

471.7375 NAC 226

Final testing going on now. Units have been on the EMA frequency (453.8625) for a couple of hours.

On the same topic, has anyone heard anything on any of the Action Ambulance channels? I've picked up traffic on their UHF channel for western MA on a few trips out that way, but nothing for the frequencies listed here in the Wiki.

I wonder if they've moved to one of those Nextel like PTT services?

Thanks.

New Hampshire?

TG 131 is Auto Service and Tire out of Mattapan. They were doing Street Cleaning tows this morning and I used that City of Boston Towing look up. Neat trick, that.

That's interesting. I'll have to put it in and take a listen. Fallon is part of "Transformative Health Care" along with Lifeline Ambulance. Lifeline is encrypted, but Fallon never has been. I have heard Fallon dispatchers calling Lifeline units, but that might just be a simulcast from dispatch witho...

Thanks.

Nice work. Wiki Updated, thread locked and moved.

So, another rescan may increase the number of channels received? I know that this is a ten phase process, but I couldn't see a schedule for when each phase occurs. It also looks like different regions are part of the phases, but I couldn't place dates with regions or phases. So 7 and 56 are combined...
