Mass State Police 948.912.5?

[D31245]

I was doing a band search on my Yaesu FT-60 from 700-999.990 MHz, and landed on an active frequency: 948.912.5.

I think it may be the Mass. State Police? I’m just getting snippets.

Some of the call references I heard were: “Code 5”, “north shore regional Rt. 2 west Rt. 129”, “Dedham”, “location 495 Chelmsford”, “Cambridge”, “H4 has one in custody “, “shut down northbound/southbound“ (Might be 495 southbound near Rt. 117.), “93 southbound break checking” “open 93 northbound “93 southbound vehicle in guardrail”.

It is extremely active but I cannot find a reference to this frequency.

Anyone know what it is?

Probably an image.

854.4125 is a voice channel on the Zone 8 Troop C simulcast. It is 94.5 MHz lower than your frequency. The FT-60's first IF is 47.25MHz, double that and you get 94.5, so it is an image of 854.4125.

Thank you so much to you both for the explanation.

The radio is very sensitive to placement/movement for this frequency. I have to position it just right to get the signals.

Still very active however, and picking up lots of chatter.
