MRRS System (MTA PD)

[dave3825]

I am in Zone 1 and do not notice any difference.

Question about zone 1 have they moved to more directional based or turned the power down ? Forgive me if this has been brought to light already but I use to receive zone 1 here in SE CT (Waterford/new London area) at full bars but since site 161 has come online I no longer receive zone 1. I updated the CC as stated above and no dice even tried a full spectrum scan on my G4 to find new site info and nothing.

Haven't been down to check in a while but I used to listen to zone 1 from East Lyme with a strong signal.

Not anymore only site I can pull in from Waterford is the new 161 and that doesn’t have much on it just MTA PD

Got Zone 1 back today 5x5

I have been out of the loop for a while, so forgive me... the last time I listened to the LIRR PD they were on VHF. The MTA Police -Long Island operated down the block from me at the old Grumman complex. Should I be able to hear this system with my Uniden Beartracker 885, which has Project 25 Phase II scanning capability?

No, you'd need a Uniden trunktracking scanner. Considering this is a simulcast system, it'd be best suited for an SDS100 or SDS200 which cost a pretty penny just fyi.

Anyone know if an new Zone 3 tower sites have been installed? Specifically Westchester CC?

Since you mentioned it, I switched my zone over to Westchester, which I rarely use, and wolala, much stronger than they ever were up my way. So my guess is something sure happened. But I dare to speculate what it was.

Good to know.

Ive been able to pick up Zone 3 here. I thought it was just atmospheric/seasonal conditions. Guess not.

I'm still not receiving Harrison PD. I'm able to receive everyone in Westchester 🤔

Harrison PD is currently pretty active in the system. What scanner do you have? From the previous posts it looks like you have an SDS100. Make sure the multi-Dispatch tag is enabled. I would also double-check programming while you're at it.

DEC	HEX	Mode	Alpha Tag	Description	Tag
9563	255b	T	Harrison PD/EMS	Police/EMS Dispatch	Multi-Dispatch
9564	255c	T	Harrison PD Tac	Police Tac	Law Tac

It's just interesting that I receive the other depts just not Harrison. What's multi dispatch tag?

Multi Dispatch is the service Tag in the DB, and you can turn the SDS Series scanners on and off. If im not mistaken, the ability to turn them on and off is in the Select Service Types menu options.

Harrison PD is tagged this way in the database as HPD dispatches Harrison EMS on that TG.

Edit: Are you able to receive Scarsdale PD on 9565? That's the only other one that's Tagged Multi-Dispatch in the DB.

Thank you for that information I'll give it try. Yes I receive Scarsdale PD.

It's now working with multi dispatch enabled. Thanks 👍
