Some info on Troop F "M".

154.680 P25 NAC 852

This is a simulcast system. Locations are Milan Hill, Manns Hill, Tenney, and Moose.

So where is 154.9200 and 152.6300 in this mess?

154.9200 is not found in a RR or FCC Search
154.6800 is not found in a RR or FCC Search, rather licensed to VTSP in Hanover NH

152.6300 is WPOL510 from Multiple Sites in Troop E & F
Attitash Mtn, Mt Belknap, Whittier Mtn, Cannon Mtn, Holden Hill, Moose Mtn, Mt Washington
and Tenney Mtn

Seems we are still speculating on much, since there are limited or no licenses

getting my information from the radio shop that programs radios. I don't know about 154.920

I know that I head units calling Troop-F on Tenney on 154.9200...

I also know that I'm still hearing units call Troop-F on Mt. Washington on 152.6300

Are you hearing units call Troop-F on 154.6800? If so, are they saying what site they're calling on (633 Troop-F on Moose)?

I've added 154.6800 to my scanner to see what I can hear... I'll also put it in my XTS2500 from work this weekend and see what I can hear on my travels.

I haven't heard them say anything other than... ex: "618 to Troop F on M" "10-3"...etc. I believe "M" can stand for any of the Sites the transmitter is located on. (Milan, Manns Hill, Moose)

Thats my guess...

I've been hearing activity most of the day on 154.6800... Leave it to Troop-F to be difficult

I copied SP 619 talking with Troop F last night on 154.920. SP 619 normally patrols in the Lebanon NH area. I was at a friend's house in White River Junction (Town of Hartford) VT when I heard it last night.

The S-meter reading on my KENWOOD TK-5210 P25 VHF portable was pegged at full scale. The relative signal strength in WRJ VT suggests 154.920 was transmitting from Moose Mtn (North Peak on maps) in Hanover NH.

The plot thickens....This frequency was exclusively being called "Tenney" from all previous reports and around Plymouth area w/154.680 being the more common frequency heard around Hanover.

Thanks Dave for the info.

I'm not 100% sure I was hearing 154.920 from Moose however my Kenwood TK-5210K3 portable had its S-meter pegged at full scale when I heard it. I'm guessing it's Moose based on the relative signal strength. It definitely was SP unit 619 talking to F and 619 normally patrols in the Lebanon area. It's the same unit 619 I've heard for many years. I remember 619 being unit 370 under the old SP unit numbering system back in the 1970's and I remember the change taking place. It might be a different trooper today compared to years ago but the unit numbers in the area haven't changed.

I was up at a friend's house (Bob/N1CIV) near the top of Hurricane Hill in WRJ VT when I heard SP619 on 154.920. Hurricane Hill is the VT equivalent of West Lebanon's Crafts Hill. They are directly across the CT river from each other. I have my 444.000/PL141.3 ham repeater at this location. Hurricane Hill in WRJ VT is beside the I-89/I-91 junction and it looks down into the West Lebanon area. I can hear stuff from Cannon Mtn and from other NH sites at this location, which makes me not quite 100% sure I heard it from Moose. My portable's S-meter staying solidly pegged at full scale suggests I heard it from Moose.

I was on the north side of the Lake Winni. today and was listening to 154.68 loud and clear, which have not received very good from the Laconia area.

I heard and F-Troop unit talking with Troop F on "M" earlier this evening on 154.680 while I was in West Lebanon. I heard it fine but I'm not sure which site I heard it from...probably Moose. I think it was from Moose given that I was on Route 12A at the time down in the CT river valley close to the CT river and I'm walled in by hills lining each side of the valley. I suspect it was from Moose given that the signal strength on my KENWOOD TK-5210K3 P25 portable was close to full scale.

To date I have heard F-Troop traffic on 154.68 and 154.920 with good signal strength while in the West Lebanon area. I haven't heard anything lately on 152.63 in the same area.
