Can anybody tell me why I hear absolutely NOTHING on NCSHP ? I live at the NC/SC Border and have VIPER SITES for Bladen and New Hanover as systems in my 246T and also have ALL the VHF stuff in a conventional bank and I still hear ZERO.
Ncshp - Zero

I assume you mean the loband VHF stuff?
What's your antenna? Loband likes a real antenna,, and depending on where you the coverage gets flaky.
The WYR320 site was in supply if I remember correctly.
If you want to catch loband, park a seperate scanner on the tower to car freq. I guess they are still using 42.38. I guess I'm an old timer, I remember the announcement E-town made to switch to that freq from 42.50

E-Town EXACTLY Grog , I should hear something...........NOTE , The Bladen Viper site has no CONTROL CHANNEL LISTED ?????
There are enough VIPER experts to help with that, but what antenna are you running and where abouts are you located? If you're back in little river I am pretty familar with the area, might be able to figure it out.
Loband is not forgiving either. The best I could do hearing the mobile units was 5 miles using anything but a dedicated 42mhz antenna.
Of course they use to use the hiband 3 repeater in Delco a lot too, but that was the 90s

Thus far the only LIVE VIPER sites are all in iether WNC undergoing testing and getting ready to load up fully... CNC around Wake County, and along the magor interstate routes with at least one tower in each county being live and testing. Put all the freqs for your towers in and see if you find an active CC... If you do.. submit it to us and we will get to it in the DB asap. As far as Lo Band, youll have to be patient as they don't talk every single second of the day. Park an scanner on all your area's district freqs and you should catch at least some dispatch coms,.. posiibly some t/a on the dispatch freq, and if they are within 10 miles tops.. some car to dispatch coms...... And maybe even car to car coms.
On another note.. has anyone noted the UHF Vehicular Repeaters for ALE??? I am planning to listen this weekend and see if I can catch traffic on them since they are kinda busy here in WNC!

Hey I can agree with both the above no doubt.....I just thought it odd not to hear them AT ALL....maybe they don't come around this way much (Yes LITTLE RIVER area) BUT I see them all the time on 17 and of course criss crossing 17 onto some of the "country" roads. Maybe Brunswick County is a total "dead spot" sure know the LTR system they (Brunswick County) use - reception is terrible.
