I was thinking the same thing it sounded like college park units, which was a little odd since stadium activity was supposed to all be on the Event talkgoups. Next game day is Sep 30th hopefully it can be verified.
I’ve had my Sds100 in discovery mode during the game and only recorded 1 transmission so far. I can confirm it was a UMD fire marshal unit calling command during the game regarding a fire panel being placed into event mode. My guess, based on knowledge of UMD is that this will be a channel dedicated to the Fire Marshal and/or Safety department of UMD. I’ll continue to monitor looking for more to confirm.

Based on the activity that I heard during the last game (may have missed some since it was on the AA Site) it sounded like Safety related activity.

While driving by the Blooming Rose Garret Simulcast site west of Friendsville today, I noticed 2 new crates in the rear of the fence, one of those containing a microwave dish. I did some searching on the FCC website and there's 2 licenses with the callsigns WRVA867 and WRVA868.

I'd say it is equipment to support the new Sang Run tower site.

Lol, the OC ASR is unusable in Ocean Pines on a normal day, and I'm slightly less than 3 miles line-of-sight. However, I understand that it's only designed to cover the island and not so much the western shore of Assawoman Bay.

Entirely on FIRST. VHF / Provoice is no longer. Law enforcement is encrypted; fire service is in the clear.

How long where they using pro voice


But how long
However long this deprecated system was in use. But IDK exactly when that system came online. But it ended 3 years ago, along the rest of the old VHF stuff. Everything is now on the P25P2 First system.
Old threads here..
this thread was started in 2015 so at least that far back..

There is likely older threads, but I stopped looking beyond these..

The old wiki was created in 2013.

So roughly from 2013 thru 2020.
