461.075 PL (didn't catch it when active)

[Mork]

Besides Campion Ambulance (Torrington) who else is using the above freq?
They sound like electricians, maintenance workers or elevator repair (Otis?)
They are clearly wiping out Campion in New Hartford, which obviously jeopardizes Medic 6 responses to my area.

I wonder if they are licensed or maybe over powered.

These are the actives statewide for the freq. There are a couple of electricians, etc and yes if they are interfering, there could definitely be an issue:

Thanks Joe

Hi Joe thanks. I wonder if Campion is having trouble with them.
They may not understand the source of the interference since
their radios probably have DPL on at all times. So much for freq coordination eh?

This is a complicated issue since its not a public safety frequency. Usually whoever was licensed on the frequency first dictates what happens. That's one of the consequences of using business allocations for public safety use.

 

[joetnymedic]

Thinking the same Doc. Also, N1TGE - Campion has been on that freq for quite some time, matter of fact I may be wrong and if so someone can correct me but I believe Campion was also on 461.225 awhile back too. Also, while Campion is obviously classified as EMS/Public Safety, they are a commercial service hence probably part of how they wound up on the business freqs. But Doc has it right, chances are their radios are probably in PL mode all of the time so they don't hear them and just start yappin. Seems like many either forgot or don't care, but I was always told to wait for the red light on the radio to stop blinking before transmitting. Also, they are probably using portables as most mobiles I used in the past went into CSQ when taken out of the mic holder

Most radios can be programmed for a couple of different "hook" settings which could be part of the issue as you noted. It doesnt matter what frequency they used to be on and their public safety status is nonexistent since they licensed as a business. Coordination is a different animal on the IG pairs.
