I've noticed that I haven't been hearing Paterson FD over the last ?? days. I checked the database here, as well as the FCC database, and I see they're still licensed for 500.3875/192.8 (Dispatch) and 500.5625/192.8 (Ch.2).
I can see activity on my 780's S-meter so I put the radio in tone search mode thinking the PL might be wrong but I'm still not picking anything up. This is with an external discone antenna on the roof of my house coupled to a pre-amp. The pre-amp is necessary because of my location. Without it I hear nothing, with it I hear everything, with the recent exception of Paterson FD.
Have they switched frequencies, turned down their power, gone digital, or what? I live in Passaic County and have never had a problem hearing them in the past.
Thanking you all in advance for any help, advice, or info !
