Rose Tree is the monopole located at Rose Tree Fire Co. It will be on the updated licenses coming out shortly.
Control channel is 770.53125. Only active voice channel in the rotation so far is 771.09375
Thank You
Great to hear that system testing has started.
Has anyone had success monitoring the new system with SDRTrunk? I got some time today and input all the control channels from RR page and am not locking to any control channels.
Located about 6 miles east of Lima, so expect to see strong signal, but not even seeing anything that looks like a carrier on the tuner waterfall graph. switching to the Philly P25 playlist and that works, so don't think it is a laptop equipment issue, but not ruling out a Phase1 vs Phase2 software issue.
Thanks.

Yes, the open MHZ and RR feed are using SDR trunk
Just heard someone sending test messages between 6:00 & 6:30 a little static though. The auto dispatcher sounds awesome though

770.53125 is the control but the Lima site is extremely directional to the NW of Lima. If you are east you are in the null. Heading east it covers reliably up to State Rd and Springfield on portable. Starts to drop quickly past that.
I'm 20 some odd miles NNE-ish of Lima. 5 bars of signal on my SDS100 with a Larsen triband NMO antenna on my roof
How is the reception audio quality? Another good measure of just how well you are getting something on the SDS scanner is the Decode Error rate. Good reception is generally under 15.I'm 20 some odd miles NNE-ish of Lima. 5 bars of signal on my SDS100 with a Larsen triband NMO antenna on my roof
Agree - since the voice dispatch was tweaked on the audio - it has been excellent.....
Although everytime I hear once of these auto dispatch broadcasts - I think of the Airplane movie
- Male announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.
- Female announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.
- Male announcer: [later] The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the white zone.
- Female announcer: No, the white zone is for loading of passengers and there is no stopping in a RED zone.
- Male announcer: The red zone has always been for loading and unloading of passengers. There's never stopping in a white zone.
- Female announcer: Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for stopping!
I heard Rose Tree site was turned on. I can confirm slightly improved reception down I-95 from NE Philly. Also improved reception into Camden/Gloucester Counties along the Rt 42 corridor.
I no longer hear Lima. Rose Tree has been turned on?? What Frequency
It’s simulcast, all the sites will use the same frequencies.
I am not seeing any signal strength on the control channel that was being used. Are both sites online if so what site number is rose tree?
I wasn't able to lock on a control channel this afternoon, either. I'm 15ish MI NNE of Lima, though, so I figure it's just the vegetation starting to pop. Reception at home had been intermittent on a G5 until today when it became unreceivable. If you could just get a Delco accent into the robo voice, I'd be happy. My first scanning was Delco in the 90s.

Since it's simulcast all sites have the same number. It's RFSS 1. No roaming.
What are you using to hear it? SDS Scanner or something else?I wasn't able to lock on a control channel this afternoon, either.

I am no longer receiving the Lima site control channel 770.53125 , It was coming in loud and clear with 3 to 4 signal bars here in Chester County Pa.
