Did you get a PL or DPL? The license wasn't effective until October 25, 2010 and has a construction deadline of 10/25/2011.

It also includes a "statewide common" channel of 151.355 which is shared with the Judicial Department. Because of the shared frequency, they needed a "Letter of Concurrence" from the Judicial Dept.

The above PL is the right one. I know that they did test the new repeater several times during the summer and that it was turned on a few times during some emergencies at Rocky Neck.

The 151.355 used to be our old Sheriffs Dept. Transport truck radio frequency back in the day. I do not believe it is still in use. I will monitor it just to be sure but I don't believe it is active. I believe the trucks are on the Marcus system. The courthouse portable units are on UHF. Last I remember, the trucks had Kenwood TK-880 mobiles installed in them while the courthouse units have TK-380s.. I left in 2008 so things MIGHT have changed, but as cheap as Judicial is, I doubt it.

I guess the third frequency licensed is the input to the repeater (170.475)

My guess is that they have moved away from using it, but since they still hold a license, DEP had to get the LOC.

170.475 is the input freq.

It's about time, I used to work at Hammonassett in the early 90's and we had MT500 low-band portables and some mobiles.

We would have a student dispatcher during the summer, only on days.

hey mtacop was that you at wood and washington in west haven yesterday-lol nice ladder where was their truck? all in all the weather sucks but i guess someone had to climb the bridge. just glad it wasnt me.

ps Manny they haven't used the freq in years, I dont even know why I still have it in my radios

 

[jvdet]

in a frequency like this a PL is not needed to receive

 

[MTACOP]

Wasn't me but I was over on Wood St getting my truck fixed Tuesday. How's life been treating you Joe?

 

[joetnymedic]

hanging in there. let me know when the next time you're around i'll try to bring java. btw bruneaus? had my truck there a couple of times last few weeks. Jimmy just put in the new laptop stand for me two weeks ago so i have the cpu mobile.

 

[MTACOP]

Yes, I get my cars done there and now the company car too.

no, but if your radio takes it you can limit other interference

Thanks Ecps. that's good info to print before it gets taken down. Since necomms/cts is rebanding and adding frequencies why not just add a few tgs for dep. They have the mobiles, might as well just hand them portables and get it over with
