Current NH state Police Freq.

[moore2215]

I tried using some from a known site not getting anything but static the site is


http://www.geocities.com/jmarcel66/nhsp.html wondering if they are maybe a trunked system now?



Thank You

Howdy. Do any here at RR work?

Thank You

Yes, those are the current frequencies being used. Are you using a
digital capable scanner? NHSP has been operating digital mode for
well over 5 years.

Didnt notice the ones on here ty for bringing it to my attention and yes iam using a pro-96

Hmmm, if you're using a PRO-96 then you should be able to
hear them. Just make sure you have the mode set to FM,
not CT or DC. Are you out in the boonies or close to one
of the Troop's??

Iam in Nashua which isnt that far from milford hearing everything else ok meaning the Nashua Trunked System that comes in great.Ill keep listening to see if I get something

OK, I used to live across the river in Hudson and had no problem
hearing Milford, Concord, and Epping on the NHSP freqs.

How about Merrimack on 155.55 or Derry on 151.01? They both
run digital also.

Get those two no problem heard my first call from the state this morning so all is well and "thank you all for the speedy replys" Much appreciated.

I also have a Pro96 and I live in Manchester....I can hear all but Troop E and Troop F (I can hear Troop E when I'm in Concord), however, it seems my scanner is having trouble at times locking onto Troop B. Also, It sounds like some troopers (or other SP staff) are using DVP or P25-XL encryption on Troop A. I say this because it sounds almost identical to the encrypted I.C.E. units (National Protection Agency) on the UHF GSA repeater in Manchester. Also, I know they're not "breaking up" (poor transmission) because Troop A answers back like they were "in the clear". I realise that their radios are capable of encryption, but Troop A is the only one I hear it used on.

NHSP is said to be complately encryted shortly.
Most units on Troopa as well as MV Enforcement are already doing so.

Once again, just another way to make it scanner listeners can not listen in.

NHSP going completely digital! How are we ever going to know if there are cows blocking traffic now?

On a more serious note, I'd like to know their reasoning for this.

 

[djzdad]

NHSP has been digital for a few years now. As long as you have a digital scanner, you'll be able to monitor them. It is the encryption part that is not monitorable. There is no scanner on the market that can decrypt digital encryption. Maybe it is only a matter of time, or maybe it is just not going to happen.

The purpose is security & confidentiality.

 

[Bill2k]

Oooops I meant to say encrypted. But still who is this helping really?

Bad info...

Not true....

 

[moore2215]

what info do you have that it isnt encrypted i have issues listening in with them now chanels where coming in great now spotty.Somedays great others not worth tuning in.

Data versus Voice....

Several of the Troops use the same channel for voice & data. When data is being passed it comes across as digital noise. None of the available scanners on the market allow network ID filtering so you have to monitor P25 transmissions utilizing open squelch. Therefore you must put up with the annoying digital hash when data is being transmitted from the unit's in-car laptop.

Whenever someone has trouble monitoring P25 signals there is always someone else quick to blame encryption. That is not the case here, there are but few ASTRO Spectras or 3000/5000 portable out here running encrypted, and no DIU's that I am aware of with encryption installed at the base level.

Doublecheck your settings and your antenna input.

It's simply not going to happen. If any scanner were so capable, that would kinda defeat the purpose of encryption in the first place. I have no problem with certain sensitive investigations (narcotics, homicide investigations, etc) being encrypted, but full encryption of all comms - including basic dispatches - is irritating.

Near where I live (Philadelphia area), some departments made (are are in the process of making) the mistake of switching to MA/COM's Open Sky system - a proprietary digital system that can't be monitored at all - or to EDACS ProVoice.

Federal Offense....

...It's simply not going to happen. If any scanner were so capable, that would kinda defeat the purpose of encryption in the first place...

Well said....plus the fact that the FCC has mandated that it is a Federal offense to attempt to monitor encrypted radio transmissions.

I monitor Troop A, B, & E as well as MV. Almost constantly I hear some units from A & MV stay encrypted (almost always the same units too). More and more units are utilizing this encryption.

My curiosity is why are the units themselves staying encrypted and the dispatcher is not? Anyone know the answer?

And how did you find out that they are not going to be completely encrypted by 2007? Just curious becuase many persons have made a stink about this, and still are.

Personaly, I do not monitor police activities. I monitor fire / rescue and aviation myself. Police monitoring can be interesting durring a chase or maybe an intersting event. I just do not care to listen to neighbors complain or constant vehicle stops. It was funny listening to my mother getting stopped though.

As I stated in a previous post, you are hearing particular units utilizing their data terminals, they are not using voice encryption.

There are only a handful of P25 units in the entire State with encryption capabilities.

No scanner on the market today can differentiate and "squelch out" data transmissions over voice traffic. When the scanner receives voice, it makes the appropriate conversion.... when it copies data you get hash.

Hopefully in the future a scanner manufacturer will incorporate circuitry that can mute embedded data transmissions.
