A bug ???

[motolover]

I hear an open carryer on 153.315 with a pl of 203.5. its some kind of company that must be open 24/7 because they are alwase there. I thinck its some kind of alarm company. What could this be? It has bin open like this for mouths. some kind of bug ?

It is more likely a repeater or digital machine stuck on.

I can think of no reason for a bug to have a pl.

I would go mobile and try to figure out where it is.

You don't say where you're located; did you try doing a FCC database lookup, located elsewhere on this site? It may tell you who the frequency is licensed to.

Darn it all. All this time I was seeing If there was a pl when I't stopped on a constant carrier so I wouldn't have to figure out if it was a birdie/Image or electrical interferance while searching. I could have been bugged this whole time.:lol:

Nothing is licensed on that frequency most likely 153.320. See if anything here fits your location

"Newbie" question here:

What is meant when you say 'PL' regarding a different frequency other than the one you are curious about?

Yes, everyone point and laugh at the 'n00b', but I couldn't find it on the wiki. =(

The radio transmits a tone, which you can't hear (usually). The other radios listen for that specific tone, so they only hear the radios that are programmed with that tone. It reduces interference between two users of a frequency.

I hear an open carryer on 153.315 with a pl of 203.5

You might also want to check 153.3125 in the FCC database.

It's possible that there is some hum in the background that your scanner is confusing for a PL tone. I have seen that happen before.

Where are you hearing this from?

Perhaps someone found the problem and corrected it, or the system failed out from running on a 100% duty cycle for so long.

Search the FCC database. There are 11 companies in the Specified Search range:

State = Connecticut
Status = Active
Frequency Upper Band >= 153.300
Frequency Assigned <= 153.325


Matches 1- 11 (of 11 )

Where in CT, it's a Big State and lots of Transmitters.

Folks, it helps if you provide this info in your profiles
