Don't bet too much.
The system isn't designed for scanners, it is for radios specifically designed and built to work on them. Your scanner is built to monitor a wider range of frequencies in more modes and at a cheaper price. The trade off is that it doesn't work as well as the purpose built radios. It also doesn't reject the interference that the commercial radios can.

TG 1213 has Durham Fair traffic.

What UID's are you seeing? TG 1213 is currently listed on the unknown TG page as "CSP Central Common 1".

What UID's are you seeing?

These 2 are the Command Post:


The other units are just regular troopers and a SGT

Anything else to listen to at the Fair? Largest fair in the State has to have some interesting activity!

Thanks I was unaware of that page.

Anybody with the ability to track new sites that live in the western part of the state want to take a ride to Danbury? I’m willing to bet there’s an unmapped site in the area. There are definite reception issues on CLMRN for us scanner operators that I’m sure CSP and DOT aren’t experiencing.

Unlikely... I can hit Troop A, L, and I from my house with DSD+. I saw the Naugatuck site spring up the other week as a peer to Troop I and A. Any Danbury/Western part of the state sites would be linked to L or A for sure, possible G or I. Nothing new as of the other day. I'll see if I have time today or tomorrow I'll check all 3 sites I can reach from here in Woodbury. My bet is some may spring up in Troop B/L area for Waramaug and Skiff Mountain sites they used to have eventually. That's about it.

A lot of it is reception. Many "All Band" antennas simply don't work well enough for 700/800mhz that CLMRN uses. Remtronics makes a nice portable handheld antenna. I've recommended cell phone booster directional yagi antennas to people for home use. (They are tuned and work well for the bands. I managed to do okay with these directional yagis indoors, but most cases they also really need to be mounted outside in a good location as well.) The antennas the CSP use are specifically tuned for these frequencies, and the radios are 10x more robust at handing weaker signals on P25 than any scanner will ever be. They're also only monitoring one frequency at a time more or less. Side by side a scanner may have clipped transmissions, garbled audio from a weak transmission, and the actual CSP radio will work just fine.

Thank you. That TG was busy all day today. Wonder what was going on. Air 2 was also up today on SW 1.

Double checked L, A, and I sites today. No new sites linked to them...

There is actually a site licensed for the system in Patterson, NY, WQYA909. It does not show up as a neighbor for any site yet and is a substantial distance from Danbury. I would imagine it would be used for the New Fairfield to Sherman area of the NY/CT border.

What’s odd about Danbury is i remember seeing a Troop A/I Simulcast repeater being listed in Danbury on the old State Police system. Too bad that system has been removed from the database or I’d see if I can find where it was listed. I believe it was on Wooster Mountain down by the airport. Hence my hope

Moses Mtn in Danbury. Looks right down into the city. Part of A Simulcast

 

[mkt853]

Is the Moses Mtn site omnidirectional? That hill is 900 ft in elevation plus antenna height, so that site should be receivable from a pretty good distance.

Do we know if the Connecticut state police will move to a new trunk system or is this it for them
