Incorrect Frequency?

[skydmark1]

Hi guys,

I've got a frequency listed for Littleton NH Water & Light as 154.45625, and obviously it looked to long to me, but I tried to enter it anyway....no go. It's listed as this on the FCC Site. Anyway I can figure out what the heck it's suppose to be? I don't think it's a real active channel so trying to catch it by searching could take FOREVER

I would just put it in with as many digits as you can and accept the result of the scanner rounding to start with. You can change step size but it's probably not required.

 

[skydmark1]

it rounds it all the way up to 154.460, oh and the scanner is a Pro-106, using Win500 to edit

Does it work that way? If the audio doesn't sound right you can change your step size and get it a little closer.

That frequency is on a 3.75kHz step, which is half of the regular 7.5kHz
step used in that part of the band, so no scanner is likely to be able to
tune it exactly. However, isn't that a telemetry (SCADA) channel, i.e.
non-voice that wouldn't be much fun to listen to?

Try 154.5625.

Not sure if it's a Telemetry channel or not, never heard it before

 

[skydmark1]

Try 154.5625.

I was thinking that, maybe the FCC site made a typo and hit the 4 twice

No, that is a valid frequency.
There are four 154 MHz telemetry channels at:

154.45625
154.46375
154.47125
154.47875

Most scanners will round 154.45625 to 154.455 or 154.460

 

[skydmark1]

So it's not really anything worth listening to then probably huh?

It's Telemetry. Don't bother with it.

154.45625 and a 173.xxxxxx are both Telemetry to control the cut-Outs [Breakers etc]
