Just annoying

[jaymatt1978]

I am using a 996T as a search scanner. It annoys me that a certain town's beach patrol uses 462.9500 (MED9) with DMR! It's not a hospital or even an ambluance service. I'm NOT knocking the beach patrol, I'm knocking their radio supplier and its choice of frequency and mode. I need to also ask how in the H-E- double hockey sticks would ANYONE get a DMR license on such a popular frequency???????

Just spitballing here but maybe by … licensing it through FCC?

Can I ask what the issue is? Cant you either get a DMR radio or skip over it?

The FCC let's users license frequencies in other services types when they aren't used local area.

To me sounds like a good use for an used frequency.

With not having enough frequencies in some bands to support end users the FCC does what is required and let's them use some other frequencies.

A bunch of VHF channels are used for land mobile frequencies in landlocked areas.

I'm guessing because Moneyrola sold them on needing some high priced fancy unnecessary equipment. They'll probably go encrypted next, the ocean might eavesdrop on their conversations

I've seen a lot of VHF marine band and railroad frequencies used in trunked systems. For example: The MSCommNet statewide system in Maine uses a lot of railroad frequencies. Maine State Communications Network (MSCommNet) Trunking System, Statewide, Maine
