I've heard that the DEP is using a VHF High Band Freq. Does anyone know the freq, PL, and if it is used for the entire department or just certain units, ie law enforcement, forestry, parks, etc.

Yea, it is only a vehicle repeater linked to the low band radio in the car/truck so you won't hear anything unless you are very close.
DEP VHF High Band
Thanks guys. Another DEP question...
"CO" (Central Office, State Office Building) has a UHF link to John Tom Hill in Glastonbury. Thats where the low band radio is (or was) and the office would use UHF to get there and back. If you were situated between those two points you could hear both sides of the transmissions, at least thats what a guy who worked in East Hartford told me years ago. Now that I work in East Hartford, I wondered if that link is still used and if so, whats the freq?

I was able to use one of the extenders this summer. The 114.8 PL is only on the receive end of the extender, its output has no tone which is really annoying along the coast because to recieve the extender, I had to put up with hearing stuff from Long Island.

The UHF link may be a MW link, or at the min a tightly focused stanard UHF link. Depending on the context of the conversation, UHF can mean anything. In the true spirit, UHF is anything basically 300MHZ and up, and in some circles, 200MHz and up.
My guess is that its a MW link.

UHF link
The UHF link I am thinking about is a focused line of site link between the state office building and John Tom Hill in Glastonbury. The guy who told me about it worked in a auto repair garage on Main Street, East Hartford and said he was using a conventional scanner at the time. (His bieing so close to the line of site allowed him to hear the coms even though he was not exactly on the line of site.
This may have changed over the years and it could very well be they upgraded the system and use Micro Wave as a link now. I just thought it was worth a shot to see if anyone else had first hand knowledge of the issue.
Thanks for your reply,
