I’m in the lower left and this direction is where my Yagi gets best signal.

That is almost pointing at this high spot with many, many antenna towers. I was up there many times in the past. Maybe you can do some research and see if they have an antenna up there.

I'm local to the area of that tower. It would definitely make sense for a site to be located there since it covers a very good chunk of the shoreline where MetroNorth runs. Coverage from that tower is very good in the south and south central portions of the state.That is almost pointing at this high spot with many, many antenna towers.

The Totoket Mountain tower, also known as Totoket Ridge, is an 182.5-foot self-supporting lattice tower owned by Menuncketuck Communications Corporation. It is located at 500 Cooks Lane in Guilford, Connecticut, approximately 1.5 miles south of a proposed Tower Ventures site. The tower currently houses various antennas, according to DOCKET NO. 237 (CT.gov).AntennaSearch - Search for Cell Towers & Antennas

What kind of signal do you get over there?

Haven't checked it out yet. Currently working on it.
If you are able, throw 770.45625 in a radio FM conventional with no PL- the control channel for the system in question. See if you receive it with no antenna. I am line of sight to that tower for all practical purposes. I can see Branford Point from my living room.
I don't have RID 1259278 logged. However, the other two you circled—4204529 came back to an MTA D1/2 Unit, and 4250575 came back to a Northwell Radio per my unitrunker. What were they circled for?
Im not getting anything from my location on 770.45625, and I have a pretty good reception in CT.
I also do not see 161.161 in the NL on any site except 26E Zone 1.

9 miles to the north but with several RF obstacles, I get a sliver of signal on a Pro-197 with RS centerload telescoping antenna. G5 gets nothing.
I will check it out on the commute tomorrow which takes me right past it.
Anyone near Port Jeff? My guess it is around there. I can see the stacks from here straight across the pond. Might explain how I get the signal so strong.

I can confirm this. Signal is surprisingly strong from the northern end of Durham all the way south to RT 1, but it is definitely not coming from here.
I just got a quick glance but I was picking up either TG 6026 or 6029 this morning if that gives any clues to where this is coming from.
Yes and no. TGs are based on affiliations, so yes, it can help, but with MRRS, it looks like all the MTA PD TGs are allowed to roam on any site. Ive seen all of them affiliating to Zone 2 and 3 randomly.
Also, Northwell Health is very close to merging with the Nuvance Health network, so I expect more sites to be hosted soon.
Well that explains why no great signals are being received near any rail properties. Still does not explain it disappearing when going a mile in any direction after its received.
does that include the officers that work in Connecticut?
They are very active on their talkgoups on 26E Zone 1,2,3 and F63.
Hes referring to Northwell Health. Not the MTA PD officers in CT.
To my understanding the MTAPD in CT uses CLMRN natively and are just patched to the MTA MRRS via ISSI. Perhaps someone else from CT could clarify.
That would sound right since the ISSI I believe was completed.
It seems like the NYSP Statewide 3 TG 8025 is back to life. It's native on the F63 cell but roaming to 26E Z2 & Z3. It sounds like it is a straight patch from NYSP Statewide VHF 154.695.
Today and yesterday, statewide traffic from Troop F was broadcasted. But anytime any other Troop Keys up on State VHF, like Troop K or L, it's not coming through to TG 8025. Does anyone have any more insight on this or how it is actually set up?

Anyone know what agency is using tg 9607 or who rid's 4241395 - 4241398 belong to? Have not monitored in a few weeks. Marine units operating in areas of Hempstead Harbor, Glen Cove Yacht club and Plum(b) Point?
