Gore mountain digital radio signal questions

[radioguy224]

I saw a few of the guys that work at gore mountain and they were carrying CP185 Motorola digital vhf radios and it was coming over the air as digital like and had a couple talkgroups that they were taking on and I wasn’t able to get them on my scanner when they were talking.so I am looking for some help finding this info out

I didn’t know the CP185 came in any digital-capable format.

We use them at my fire department for the auxiliary members to communicate during community events— they are far from being a front-line radio and I’d be surprised if professional radio technicians would be using them on the mountain.

The CP185 is an analog radio, no digital capability. It does feature analog voice scrambling, which is probably what the OP mistook for "digital".

Ok bc I was told that gore mountain did have some dmr channels

 

[GTR8000]

Well they're not using CP185 radios with DMR channels, that's for sure.

Have you done any research on your own yet? There is a relevant category on the Warren County page, which leads to an FCC license that has both VHF and UHF frequencies, with some DMR emissions on UHF. I would suggest starting there and seeing what you can figure out on your own.

Could also be Essex County which is P25 @ Gore

Ok so I put these in my scanner with DMR activated and I haven’t gotten a thing one it

Since that license is for the ski center is it likely there would be much activity now?

Correct! Try on the weekends when they are running the leaf peepers up the mountain. Snowmakers will start towards the end of November if it's cold enough.

Ok so I have programmed them and I am only a few house down from gore mountain ski area and I am still not picking anything up on the DMR digital system

Again, looking at their web page the first public event listed is December 10 and there is likely be little activity at a ski center until they start snow making and trail grooming. Off season, the few active employees would have little need to use radios.

Tonight gore mountain is making snow on the mountains and I have both radios programmed vhf and uhf channels

 

[radioguy224]

Ok I have the UHF DMR and then VHF ORDA GORE MOUNTAIN Radio frequencies programmed into both of my portable Motorola ex PR 7550s and I am not getting anything and I do know that they are making snow tonight

Based on my experience with Bristol Mountain in my area they seldom talk on the radio unless there is a problem.

 

[jeepsandradios]

I assume you have them both DMR and analog. I would venture to say they are using analog still....

from what i was to;d by one of the snow makers is they are UHF digital DMR frequencys and use XPR3500e radios

 

[radioguy224]

Ok so today I was listen to the 453.3250 and got a color code of 6 and I am still working on getting the talkgroup for it from what I gathered from the radio transmission was ski mountain workers talking about fixing the slope on one of the trails

I am getting them on 453.3250 with color code 6 but haven’t gotten any talk group

 

[radioguy224]

I am thinking it could be 1001 or 101 or 9008

 

[radioguy224]

ok so i put in my scanner 453.6350 CC6 TG 9008 SL 1 and i am getting Signal strength indicator but not voice
