I'm going to Hershey Park. Anything worth programming for a conventional scanner? (Non DMR/ non LTR).
n2kkz...Hello friend....I am currently here in Hershey and have 451.725(Chocolate World) programmed in my memory in my analog scanner but have not heard anything on this frequency since 2015....Most everything local in this town is DMR or APCO 25 digital or encrypted. In fact, the only analog transmissions that I have logged lately here in the whole township are the following: 153.095 and 153.125 Hershey Foods Corp chocolate plant ops (boring and infrequent), Country Meadows retirement home on 152.36 RM ( very infrequent use), and 160.86 Norfolk Southern RR road channel ....heavy use as the tracks go right along Hershey Park...The only analog public safety transmissions that can be received strongly here in town are 453.175 RM Cumberland County EMS, 151.22 and 155.31 RM Berks County Fire and EMS dispatch and response, and 33.90, 33.64 RM, 33.56 RM and 33.72 RM Lancaster County Fire and EMS Dispatch and Response.....Also, all the FRS channels are heavily used in the park still by the guests......Enjoy your visit!
Re Chocolate World, bear in mind that is not Hershey Park. Chocolate World belongs to the food company; Hershey Park belongs to HERCO.
FWIU.
Does LanCo still use the conventional channels at all? Same question for Berks. They both have moved to new systems for a while.

That would explain why it isn't on the DMR system, I guess, since that system covers all the Hershey Entertainment properties. I didn't realize Chocolate World was not part of the Hershey Entertainment empire.
Cumberland will me moving to P25, so thing could change there. OpenSky is on the way out. There is a reason the state went with P25 phase 2. OpenSky is reaching end of life and loss of manufacturer support.
Funny, I have not heard a thing about Cumberland.
