Frederisckburg Ham P25

[N1TGE]

I am going to Fredericksburg today and thought I would bring a VHF XTS2500 with me as I have been wanting to try this mode out. I will make the drive after landing at Dulles. There are no P25 repeaters in CT and I am unsure if there are any in VA but this is the place to find out!

I'm not aware of any, maybe Dave will chime in before you go.

147.12 in Orange will be a good bet, great coverage even down here in Charlottesville. I'll try to keep it on when I'm out running around.

Call me if you can, Alpha Alpha Four Delta

I don't really listen to the ham bands that much, but I don't think I've ever heard P25 in the Fredericksburg area.

Here's a list of some of the repeaters in the Fredericksburg area:

Enjoy your visit.

I know of no p25 machines in VA at all. however there are a couple D-STAR systems you may be interested in if you have that capability:


Stafford (near exit 143 on I-95) 145.32dv/447.275dv/1282.2 data.


Spotsylvania (near exit 126) 145.24dv/443.46dv/1282.4 data.

We have a new P25 machine on 145.17 temporarily. The transmitter is on the Dulles Toll Road on an FAA tower behind the Sheraton. NAC is, as you would imagine, 293. It will be moving to a much higher site, in NE DC, later this year. AFAIK it's the only P25 in Northern Virginia.

Can't hear this one from Beckley, WV. Not close to where you're going to be, but it's in VA.

What equipment are you using the P25 repeater?

 

[immelmen]

Its UHF rather than VHF, but I thought I would mention the N3ITA quantar in Fredric, MD running mixed mode. You can get into it from Dulles all the way down the toll road and into Arlington, and it has about 75% coverage on 66 from the beltway to 28 with a mobile.

Its got a non standard NAC that I cant recall off the top of my head.

@W2NJS, where is the new site in DC? I am dieing for something P25 I can reach from Alexandria. Send me a message if you are ever looking for an extra hand with your machine, more than happy to help!
