Two weekends ago I went to Petersburg Pass on the NY/MA line to do some monitoring. I found North Adams Police are now using a repeater. The previous frequency, 156.210 is the input, and the output is 159.225 MHz. CTCSS 118.8 for both frequencies. I checked their licenses at the FCC database, and it shows a modified license WPVU-259 for the Fire Department (?) but the repeater output is listed as 159.255 MHz. However, after monitoring, it is definately the police department (the dispatcher ID's as North Adams and the units were discussing police type traffic).
I had been hearing this in the Albany, NY area but it is very weak, and I had originally thought that NYSDEC Police were using a different CTCSS tone for a specific region.
