This one is strange... I was sitting here with my PRO-651 on Signal Stalker when it stopped on 453.8375, I thought it would be another DMR Frequency, NOPE! it was St. Vincent's Hospital (Pretty close to me so I thought that had to be it) I looked under Jefferson County and went to FCC Licenses...
I just searched the FCC database for any new licenses that might be for systems used at the new Hartford baseball stadium, once it's operational. Found nothing that seems to apply.
Has anyone heard rumors about what the radio system for the new stadium might be?

I understand the technical difference between ERP and transmitter output power, but I was wondering if someone could help me understand the intent of the difference as seen on FCC licenses. I have several licenses in the Public Safety Pool and I've noticed that on one frequency/location I'm...
