Realizing they've been AWFULLY DEAD on 154.205 and 154.175 the last few weeks... anyone know if MVC is not simulcasting anything over VHF any longer for the above listed towns?
Mountain Valley Comms - Millburn/Summit/Springfield
- Thread starter onsceno
- Start date
Ask and you shall receive:
152.3975 DPL 465 MVECC link (SUMMIT EMS) - Repeater
154.175 PL 114.8 MVECC link (SUMMIT FIRE) - Simplex
The repeater gets out better than the simplex patch which is kind of local.
154.205 PL 114.8 - nothing heard (MILLBURN).
152.3825 PL 88.5 - MVECC rx only (M-SH FAS) - Repeater (again, Summit EMS one is alot stronger, this seems local as well).
Springfield EMS also has their 156.060 DPL 065 on their air. This one really gets out. I think its up on Overlook hospital. Hear some chit-chat occasionally.
Thats pretty much all thats left on VHF over that way that I've noticed.
New Providence has a link up on UHF as well: 500.7375 DPL 411.
Enjoy.

Sarcastic response received; and I love every bit of it LOLOL. Thank you, as always, brotha!!! Kills me that signal strength IN TOWN is nearly NIL now.
Yeah, most if not all units have transitioned to the talkgroup on NJICS but the patch is still in Summit. Honestly the UHF link in New Providence probably has the best coverage. VHF becoming more and more deserted over this way.

Roger that, my friend - thanks. Guess it's time to squeak out another slot in the scan list.

Very new to this. What are the alpha and numeric characters after the frequency?
Can I just program the frequency into the system without those alpha numeric groups?

Yes you can. The alphanumeric characters in the case above are for the Digital Private Line quieting code that are helpful for those that have receivers capable of decoding them, or CTCSS tones, so the receiver only open for transmissions on the frequency that also have the approprite tone or code. Without it, all transmissions on the frequency will be heard.
