Anyway, last time I was up there, they were on UHF I think.

Re: 159.21875

Wow. That is really blasting in here, which is why I thought it was semi local.

Thanks.

159.21875

P25 NAC 470. Mix of clear and encrypted traffic. TG: 1. Signal is very good into my QTH, but that doesn't mean all that much as it's VHF. There was traffic regarding a transformer down and waiting for DPW to assess the damage. My guess is security or PD. Nothing at the FCC as far as license. At leas...

Re: 463.2375 CC5

If you set it up as "conventional" and not trunked, you'll see all of the information. Which makes no sense to me, but that's how DSD+ handles it. It seems, although I'm not 100% sure, that the same traffic is carried on both active sites. DSD+ is not showing me Sites, but 464.0375 is chan...

Re: 463.2375 CC5

I misread that as 461.3000. Need new glasses, I'll add that to my to do list. I see Norwood in the wiki as CC10, for 461.3500 which might be why it is weak to Weymouth or both using the same CC Yes in the FCC for Brockton School as well as the SNE FCCDB https://www.scan-ne.net/sne/app.php/nefd https...

Re: 463.2375 CC5

I didn't see a license for that frequency, was that on the FCC website?

Anyway, I'll plug that into my DSD+ set up and take a listen.

Re: 463.2375 CC5

That was my first thought, so I listened on 463.8875 and 463.8875, but there was no activity on either. The Wiki shows 463.8875 as shared with Emergency Management. On another note, as with the City of Quincy trunk, the two sites are OFT and DSD+ can only decode them in what I call "Conventiona...

463.2375 CC5

I know that Brockton Public Schools uses this frequency, but this is operating as a Cap+ system. Also shows as Site 2 with Neighbor List 1, 3, 4. Maybe reconfigured as networked One Frequency Trunk sites. Talk Groups are 100 and 102. TG 102 has school bus or special needs van traffic. Definitely sha...

You're welcome. Let us know if you're consistently able to hear traffic. You didn't mention if you're using the scanner mobile or base station. Keep in mind that if you're using it at a fixed location and not using an external antenna, moving the scanner a few inches can change your reception dramat...

Re: BCD996p2

It will program and receive fine. The last digit doesn't display, but it will program. The issue you might run into, depending on where you are, is simulcast distortion. All scanners with the exception of the SDS series are susceptible to simulcast distortion on systems like CSP, RISCON, and the upc...

There is a Logan Express lot in Braintree. Maybe bus to and from there, although why a bus wouldn't go right to the airport I can't say.

I've noticed that they come in at a lower altitude during bad weather. Normally over my house they're around 4500'. During bad weather they're in and around 4000' maybe even a little bit below that.

Only exceptions are Newark and Atlanta.
