I've been hearing P25 activity, NAC 297, on the GMRS channel 462.550 in the Albany area. At first it sounded like a law enforcement talk, based on discussions of vehicles (e.g. The Audi was going fast, get that one)...but then I also heard comms such as drop off the visitor sign in forms at the business center. That sounds more like a facility. I'm thinking maybe a security operations, perhaps a college or school campus?
I heard one 900 series call sign, being requested to return to base.
The signal is weak and sometimes I get poor decode, so it's not close. I did hear one reference to a road by route number...I didn't write it down, but I didn't recongize it at all...so I'm thinking this could be Mass or VT.
I checked the FCC for a grandfathered license and nothing found. (Although I doubt they could legally run P25 anyway, as that would have required a license mod and I think grandfathering only allows renewals).
Anyone else hearing this? I don't *think* this is the "Albany County Assistance" group.
