453.900

[NEK1213]

Last Friday I heard a very long and steady tone on 453.900. Then radio repair did a 10 count and asked for an area trooper to respond. I missed the response if there was one. I check out the FCC site's information which shows the frequency with a site in Island Pond. It also showed Derby which is the location of the state police barracks and for dispatch center. Around 545 PM this afternoon a dispatcher was talking with what sounded like a VSP supervisor/sergeant. The audio was loud and clear. It was over a repeater as both parties could be heard. I wasn't able to capture a tone code. This is the first communication I've heard on 453.900 for several years.

With a little more listening time it appears 453.900 is usually simulcast with the primary dispatched 460.150 on the eastern side of the Derby area.

What PL for the 453 ?? 179.9 ? as is one the 460 ?
Interesting the only license is for an FB down at Island Pond not a Repeater

Unfortunately I'm able to receive it on the scanner. I'm listening a UHF base radio set up. I'll keep monitoring it.

hopefully doing a road trip in May/June to Ascutney and that might help out with much of the changing VT RF spectrum

I was hoping the 179.9 as that matches the pattern of same PL for each simulcast, but needed an actual OTA Confirm

PL 179.9 confirmed this afternoon
