Monitoring activity at Qwest field?

[Stavro35]

Aside from the Seattle police and ems that can be monitored on their trs.. Is there anything else related to the Seahawks. Qwest filed or NFL that an be monitored?

How about the FOX sports communications? Like the sideline reporters to their truck etc?

Where were you monitoring from, Steve? Most radio systems at NFL games and such are low-powered and only meant to cover the stadium.

I'm afraid you won't hear much from there. The radios used for the network TV crews are usually simplex, so they won't be heard too far from the stadium. The NFL radios are low-powered too, so unless you are in the parking lot, don't expect to hear too much.

One exception might be any blimps or aerial camera platforms that may be used for a game. They aren't at every game, but you should be able to hear them if they are there.

Activity most definitely from Century link field on 451.2375 This frequency was listed in "Scannerstuff:Northwest frequency directory" assigned to JC Penny. It is NOT, it's something to do with Century link field, possibly catering based on the communications I'm hearing.

Wow. Good find! I'm on a hill in Newcastle so I'm dialed in.

Now I'm looking for blimps and choppers. Any suggestions there?

Are you working several scanners/receivers now? What's your technique?

Cheers!

1. Nothing found in that regard. I just looked for the frequencies for the blimp working the game on line and dialed those in to my Pro163


2. I was just using my Pro163 for searches . And GRE PSR 500 and Radio shack Pro164 for everything else public safety related.

Qwest Field has it's own LTR system. You can easily monitor this trunk with most scanners these days.

Hmm, I'm not sure why it's not in the RR database. I'll submit the info later tonight. Hopefully Ken will get it in there ASAP.

UPDATE: I've submitted the new system to Ken. Here's the short and sweet of it:

Thank you very much. I do have the system in my Pro 163. I am wondering if it's low power? I can only hear communications if I have the squelch up. Also in my trying to program my radio, it rejects the talkgroup as invalid ?

 

[SCPD]

Yep it's only 10w. Some are said to be 40w but I'm guessing those are mobile units only. I'm not familiar with the Pro-163 ... be sure to set it up as a LTR system. See Page 41 of the manual: http://www.radioshack.com/graphics/uc/rsk/Support/ProductManuals/2000163_PM_EN.pdf

Next time I know they're hosting an event I will just take my radio up to the 4th floor of our condo. I live in a mixed unit building .Maybe if I take it up one more level I'll hear something.

There's a concert on Sunday night... I'm curious what activity there will be with a concert. I last listened to them during a MLS game.

I will see if I can find any activity. As I posted earlier. I might have to go up to the 4th floor of our building to try to hear anything.

Get yourself an outdoor antenna.

The above antenna would be great from your location.

I don't live in a home. We are in a mixed use condo. AND they have rules. And one of those rules, although I haven't really checked of late, no antennas . If I can put something up in our home/office. That mgith be my best option.

 

[SCPD]

It'll work indoors as well but it will require some room obvoiusly.

FYI, the concert for tonight was postponed.
