Any Ideas?

I pick up AFD really well but I am have a lot of static with APD. I don't understand why since the towers are in the same place and the frequencies are in the same range

 

[mcema699]

Reasons??

They were getting a tremendous amount of interference (skip?) yesterday. They talked about it on air for a bit. It doesn't seem to be there today. Different frequencies in the same band are bothered by different kinds of interference. You could also have something local that was for some reason blocking the signal from APD.

Yesterday, one of the dispatch headsets or consoles was causing an echo effect if you listened closely.

I haven't gotten any of the intereference down here in Hancock Co either yesterday or today so I wonder if it is area specific,

New user in the county

I'm tracking some mobiles here in Madison Co, using 155.385 (unlicensed) PL 114.8 making nonemergency medical transportation runs. They have a daily list of runs and new runs are paged. They call the base with times and mileage of each run. And sometimes go to a "Town" channel. I can't hear or find the base . Nearest base licensed on 155.385 is over 70 kmra from Madison Co courthouse. Keep an ear tuned for an unid'd base.

155.385/.895 My guess is that its Eaton EMT's Inc. I've seen their units in town. .895 is expired town of Eaton freq. Site says they are nonprofit, but it could be a DBA of someone else licensed on those freqs. They might be running without license. I can hear the base with outside antenna. It is a weak signal.

 

[Viper43]

I wouldn't say it's too weak, I pick them up on accasion in Hancock Co.

from the attached pdf:

The City of Anderson, Indiana (“Anderson&#8221 hereby provides the following, additional information regarding its application for STA.

Type of Operation: Public Safety Ntl Plan, 821-824/866-869 MHz, Trunked

Time/Date of Operation: 24 hours per day, 7 days per week

Station Class: FB2C

Radio Service: YF

Applicant Activity: Applicant is a government entity.


The City of Anderson has entered into a Frequency Relocation Agreement with Sprint/Nextel for the required rebanding of their NPSPAC frequencies. The EF Johnson
radios on which Anderson currently operates cannot be programmed for and will not operate on their new, rebanded, NPSPAC frequencies. Therefore, Anderson had to
purchase new EF Johnson Ascend radios in order to accommodate the rebanded NPSPAC frequencies to which they will be moving. Anderson has, for many years, operated on a
LTR back-up site provided by Lectro-Communications, Inc. Anderson’s new Ascend radios will not function with the current LTR back-up site which provides critical, backup
communications that are utilized by almost all of the City of Anderson’s government and/or public safety agencies.

Therefore, Anderson had to construct and must now relocate to the new back-up site that will accommodate their new Ascend radios and rebanded NPSPAC frequencies. The back-up site will be used for the daily operations of the City of Anderson, as well as the public safety communications of the City of Anderson’s Police and Fire Departments; Emergency Management Agency; and the Light and Power and Water Departments, including the Water Pollution Control Department, as well as many other City of Anderson public safety agencies.

Therefore, for the foregoing reasons, Anderson respectfully requests that the Commission GRANT its STA application.

LOL, you would add frequencies RIGHT after I get done adding Madison Co channels to my 2035/535 ..... Nice timing there

[dfoutch]

Ah, who cares

Me thinks Andersons rebanded freqs are working. Those LTR things are working anyway. Any actual use not noted.

[khthomas1008]

Why did the fire department change their dispatch freq?

 

[mcema699]

They were getting interference of some kind.

 

[dfoutch]

Just checked Andersons prebanded freqs, no LTR thingies heard, checking rebanded freqs, heard conversations so me thinks the switch has been made. Long live the King.

[brentoli]

What RR frequencies are in use around Anderson?

 

[W9NES]

set up yopu scanner to search 160.2-161.550.This is all you need.You can check RR.Com and click on railroads and you will be able to hear what is in your area.Hope this helps.

 

[scanhed]

Anyone know if/when "rebanding" will impact the Madison County Public Service LTR Standard system? Will I need to worry about this if my scanner does not support rebanding?
Thanks,
