452.05 activity in the capital region

[domtheavgeek]

Does anybody know what agency is active on frequency 452.05 in the capital region area? I’m located in the Guilderland area and am hearing it loud and clear. Doesn’t seem too professional, not LE, FD or EMS. Any ideas?

Thank you, I’m assuming it’s the one closer to Rotterdam.

Simple analog, I don’t scan DMR.

Hightower is analog, probably LTR. It is at the Crawford site that would have strong coverage in your area.
Wells could be either analog or DMR based on the license.

If analog, no PL, then probably LTR. LTR should have idle pulse every few seconds but not all systems use that.

This frequency is LTR at Crawford Hill (Rotterdam), licensed to FM Communications->Wendy Helm->ARB Upstate Communications->Hightower Capital.

Oops. Hightower Capital is the current holding company. The licensee is Hightower Upstate Communications.
