Still not receiving much activity with global off, any other ideas? My local is HARRISON, NEW YORK?
@dave3825 Dispatcher call signs vary by troop, and I'm not familiar with Troop L, but I can provide a limited answer.
I suspect "9L0" would be a dispatch supervisor, or a radio technician--call signs vary by troop. For example, I have Troop G dispatcher call signs ranging from "9G4" to "9G19." It's up to the troop's discretion (as far as I can tell), and I would suspect the lower the number the higher ranking the supervisor (I suspect this is the case for numerous troops, and is likely the case for Troop L as well).
In regard to Troop L specifically: Per Long Island Area Scanning Resources, "L90" through "L99" are "Troop Communications." I'm not sure if that means radio techs or dispatchers (or both). While a vast amount of information on that page is long out of date, it's possible the "L9#" series remains radio techs (except "L99," a recruiter). And while call signs are left to troop discretion, it would follow the precedent of the Headquarters "H9#" series being radio technicians.
So, in short, I'm not sure, probably a dispatch supervisor.

How are you determining that you're not hearing much activity? As has been mentioned in this thread a number of times, the coverage of the MRSS system is lacking in some areas, and some areas are using LTE. If all subscribers are using LTE you're not going to hear it.
If that is not the case then you may need to play around with your filter settings, Keep the global filter off, but go into your settings for the site you are monitoring and try different filters to see which one works the best. For me I have to use the Wide-Invert filter at my location to listen to MRSS.
What is LTE? I am not fimilar with that term? Thank You
They are using the cellular network to supplement their coverage.
Thank You, I seem to have sucess with GLOBAL FILTER/OFF ?
Lol, which one is it?
If it's them having coverage issues in that area and supplementing with LTE, not much you can do. Looks like they have not had any rf on zone since 1 30 pm. Not sure if they are continuous on zone 1 or not.
If your having issues receiving the site, try and see if you can receive the zone 1 site. They are on that one also. I seem to remember a bunch of people in Port Chester having issues receiving the site.
Yeah still alot of coverage issues in that area. What a shocker.
Still having problems receiving Harrison New York in WESTCHESTER COUNTY, on the new system they are on....I have Global Filter OFF, but not receiving ?
I only see 2 voice grants for them today at 9 18 am.
Can you receive other agencies on the same system (MRRS) and same site (Zone 3 Simulcast)?
I just received PORT CHESTER, NY on the same system...?
I just tried turning squelch to "0" and guess what ? It works now receiving Harrison NY on MARRS SYSTEM.....
So you got 2 issues. one is receiving the site and the other, trying to listen to an agency that uses LTE quite often.
I have turned GLOBAL FILTER to OFF and squelch to "0" now receiving Harrison New York... also other sites on MRRS System...
Think you mean all other talk groups.
YES, it seems that the squelch to "0" is the key to receiving transmissions.
And a clear indication that either your radio is messed up or you have issues locking onto that site. Uniden recommends 2-5 on squelch.
While zero might work well for you, you will get blasted by static when you land on an analog channel without a dsc or pl tone. Just curious, what firmware version is in that radio?
