Does anyone know where I can hear ardot on my scanner like highway maintenance and stuff. Are they on your he scanner and what frequency or talk group are they?

Here is the entry in the database: Arkansas - Department of Transportation (ARDOT) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

I can confirm that they are still on VHF. In NWA on 151.0625, as shown on the last line of the table in the database.

To add to this - I've been hearing them the past couple of weeks repairing snow/ice damage to Highway 112 in NW Arkansas on MURS frequency 154.570.

Is that like flaggers directing traffic around a job?

Yes, indeed.

Yes, indeed.

OK. Yeah, not surprised. It is common for them to use FRS or MURS radios for that.

MURS is in the actual VHF radios in use by ARDot. Back when I was still an DBA, that is where I got a lot of the ARDot info from. The actual codeplugs. Apparently they have switched to new tones, and gone to being a lot more quiet. (Possibly iPads/etc....)
