I have Chopper 12 on 463.450 with a DPL of 306
The repeater that they use is located in Easton CT and can be heard pretty well all over.
I don't know if they use other frequencies, but I have heard them on this one.

what does dpl mean ??

Digital Private Line, Motorola's trade name for digital coded squelch.

 

[usnasa]

can you hear whats on that channel or do i need a Digital scanner ?

 

[Dave520]

You can hear them if you have a non-digital scanner that does not have private line features. The frequency that they use is also used by a recycling company in the Easton area. So you will hear them most of the time. That is the purpose of using private lines so that more than one company can use the same frequency without interferring with each other.

so i see but i tried to put in the freq pl ex. 103.5 but it did not allow me to program it in to my scanner i have the pro 2051 ?

 

[Dave520]

The 103.5 is a sub-audible tone that you can enter in the newer scanners (along with the normal frequency) that will allow you to only hear a specific organizations that share the same frequency. I am not sure whether your scanner accepts these tones.

Hope this helps.

Time for an upgrade?

Dave,

The Radio Shack PRO-2051 does not support CTCSS (aka: PL) or DCS (aka: DPL) decode.

Would those frequencies be AM or FM ? (being that it is a HELO)

I saw information posted somewhere quite a while ago about the News12 New Jersey chopper. They're on an LTR Trunk System licensed to Kenneth Kirsh/Arthur Breese, Middlesex County. It's a 1 frequency system, and yes there is such a thing. The frequency is 461.400, LCN is 04 and the talk group is 0-04-100. It appears to be a leased frequency/TG. There is a similar company in New Jersey, Atlantic Coast Commuications, based in Holmdel, I believe. Companies lease frequencies/TGs from them also. I believe the Asbury Park Press leases from them and Rural Metro Ambulance also leased from them when they were operating in New Jersey. You can monitor the chopper on their frequency in conventional mode, without going to the trouble of programming the trunk system, but if you do you, will also hear any other companies/agencies that have a talk group assigned to that frequency. I don't monitor it so I can't verify this information, just passing along what I saw posted.

 

[usnasa]
