Thanks for the map. They have a website where they post quarterly newesletters and according to the most recent one they are finalizing the FCC frequency allocations. Soon as that is published I plan to start running the software to start picking up the TGs and see what we got.System will consist of 16-17 total sites split into two simulcast cells: 10 subsites in the North Cell, 6 subsites in the South Cell. The location of the 17th site is unknown and not shown on this map. I don't have much more info than that, other than 161.850 and 161.8125 will be part of the North Cell, and 161.925, 161.8875 will be part of the South Cell, the county having acquired those four frequencies from Motorola.

I can actually see the towers from the Campbells ledge site from my back porch so this shouldn't be an issue, will try running SDR trunk with the two freqs that GTR posted above and see if I get anything.Is anyone aware if any of the channels are even broadcasting data yet? Want to start using SDRTrunk but am not sure if I will be able to get anything from Scranton
Assuming you already own some SDRs, you *could* use a program like SDRSharp to analyze the spectrum, looking for control channels around 161 MHz.I can actually see the towers from the Campbells ledge site from my back porch so this shouldn't be an issue, will try running SDR trunk with the two freqs that GTR posted above and see if I get anything.
The frequency of - 161.925 is overwhelmed here in Shavertown by the national weather service frequencies.Assuming you already own some SDRs, you *could* use a program like SDRSharp to analyze the spectrum, looking for control channels around 161 MHz.
Then you will need a very good receiver, and possibly a good directional antenna aimed at a donor site.The frequency of - 161.925 is overwhelmed here in Shavertown by the national weather service frequencies.
