I have been told that they are getting new radio next month . Does that mean that they are changing frequencies or keeping the same. The fcc website is down to check the license
Hart transit buses
- Thread starter radioguy224
- Start date
It was able to load for me now: ULS License - Industrial/Business Pool, Conventional License - WPVT598 - Housatonic Area Regional Transit
Hmm, I thought they just upgraded their radios to DMR like a year or so ago?

I was out chasing radio signals earlier this month and briefly got some new CTTransit talkgroups on the Troop A Site. I cannot receive that site at home but was mobile when I caught them so I have not able to monitor further traffic beyond the original console testing.

Hart transit is dmr and in the date base
A bit of Googling yields...
HARTransit wishes to join the Connecticut Land Mobile Radio Network (CLMRN). The existing system is subject to frequent failures, is difficult to access and provides incomplete radio coverage. |
OK, so they’re getting away from the DMR. It is what you’re telling me.
I am simply saying that it appears that they want to and there are a number of new talkgroups in the range of CTTransit that were active on the site that serves the HART service area. That is all I know about it, you need to draw your own conclusions.
I just know that one of the HART transit dispatchers was saying they got new radios and will be using them next month
I was told that the CLMRN was filled to capacity and nothing more can be added per the NCC network control center
There have been recent changes made to increase capacity but that is likely looking toward the future rather than currently being at capacity. Once the upgrade that is currently underway is done, all of the main simulcast sites will have 12 frequencies in use with the exception of Troop B (still have 6). But most already have 12, that is 22 simultaneous voice/data transmissions. That is a lot for the relatively small coverage area of each simulcast cell.
Same. I hear them well into New York. Dont know why they would want to switch. If I were to guess it's user error....
You heard wrong...
Simple Answer: They are switching to CLMRN.
Does anybody know why it doesn’t matter to me? I don’t monitor it. I wonder if it’s because it wants to be part of the transit system
