Changes coming for Portsmouth Fire?

KB1VLA · Apr 10, 2015

Portsmouth Fire currently runs their repeater on what is licensed at the input- 153.770. Their license was recently modified, and 153.770 was deleted, and replaced with 158.805. 154.340 is still licensed at the FB2, as it always has been (it's currently the input).

My guess is they'll be changing the output to 154.3400 Repeater and have a new input for the repeater. The license had been reversed for awhile.

About 5 minute ago, I heard 2 set's of tones going out on 154.340--pl--173.8.. I know it is the input, or soon to be the former input.. I've been scanning it every day since this thread opened.. I just set up the 396XT on fire tone out search. I have not heard a voice yet, yet... I didn't scan it this afternoon, I was actually in Portsmouth.. But, that freq did set off my signal stalker's.. I just locked them out, should have listenned

Just checking if there has been any update on which freqs the PFD is using. (is 153.77 still active?) I am swinging through the region over this and the next few weekends.

Yes sir,
153.770 is still active..

I don't know who is doing the work,
I imagine it is 2 way Comm, of Newington
they --should-- be switching anytime
ULS Application - Public Safety Pool, Conventional - 0006682360 - PORTSMOUTH, CITY OF - Frequency Summary

Portsmouth is my old stomping ground so I always want to make sure that I can hear them. Didn't the PFD work on 154.340 about a decade ago? Anyhow, I am curious which frequency will be used for which purpose, and whether or not I will still hear them from Northern Mass.

mainetrunk · Jul 22, 2015

They are adding 154.340 for the repeater,
and 155.805 as input..
The power output will remain the same, 100 watt's...
So, you should be good

WHats the out put and the PL TONE???

mainetrunk · Jul 22, 2015

We are waiting for that info

And now, 153.770 is back on the license as an FB.

I'm guessing the plan hasn't progressed yet, so they put 153.770 back to keep it legal. Plus it can always be used later for other purposes.

UPDATE:
Portsmouth FD is now on 154.340, in P25 mode. NAC is 88A. Input is 158.805.

Confirmed

I like it.
They are giving me a better signal now than before.

KB1VLA · Dec 31, 2015

The P25 traffic on 154.34 is patched onto the old channel, 153.77 in analog mode.
