Revere MA Police and Boston EMS?

cmiller1031 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-13-2009, 07:47 AM

I am new to the scanning hobby and have programmed my scanner on a very limited basis as of yet. I had Revere (police and fire), Everett (police and fire), Boston EMS and State PD programmed. About a week ago stopped getting any activity on the Boston EMS channel. Then two nights ago I stopped getting any activity on the Revere PD channel...All I am getting is Everett PD and State PD.

Here are the questions..

1) Does anyone who monitors these channels hear any activity?
2) If not did the freq change?
3) If there is activity any ideas why I would not be getting it? I live in Revere, and I checked the whole Lockout thing and that is not an issue.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Revere PD has had some work done on their system, been switching off to another of the Zone channels, not sure which one. FD has changed, check the wiki at Scan New England, same for Everett FD. No other changes, just double check everything in the wiki.
Eastern MA Portal - Scan New England Wiki
Massachusetts State Police - Scan New England Wiki
Put in the nearest zones to you for MSP, if you have a control channel only capable scanner put all the control channels in for the zones closest to you, 5. 20, 3 if you like and 1 if you like. Don't worry about talk groups, just let them talk and when you feel like you don't want to hear a particular group, just lock it out.
