I noticed while out plowing snow ttthe last 84 hours that Spruce is got a volume problem.. Some traffic is low modulation and some is way too loud..

I see at the 1:34 mark in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKODP_3vWgA The old conventional system. Are there any pics out there of the new cruiser set-up?

Mt. Agamenticus Region Net is a region net only. NO SIMULCAST on this Net.

York DOT- Sounds like a repeater issue with a long tail.

It's been that way for a while. It is also pretty weak. Probably meant for the surrounding towns.

I just wanna say; I love the new system. It's easier to follow than the old analog system. The only 2 drawbacks is you HAVE TO have the CC with at least 2 bars showing, and you have a whole lot of tagging to do -if- you program by hand like me.
Thanks to Thunderbolt for bringing this to our attention

You're welcome! This system was very slow to take flight, but things are looking pretty good now. The biggest obstacle that Harris Radio, and the state of Maine went through, was obtaining radio frequencies in the VHF-High band spectrum that was approved by Industry Canada at various transmitter sites. It will be very interesting to see how this all pans out in the future.

Im happy with it so far.. I cannot give it a grade yet. I need at least 6 months to listen, there has been lots of issues with Zone 2 Augusta but thats all I know about so time will tell

State prison is still on the old system and I've heard troopers on the old system here in waldo/knox county.

I do not think Knox has any plans to move over to the P25 system, at least from what I have read/understood.
I may be wrong though as I have just recently gotten back into the hobby.
I do know they dispatch a few of the small local towns as well as troopers.
Camden and Rockport police are both dispatched by the KRCC as well as some other town's EMS and Fire. (Union, Hope, Appleton all come to mind)

New Talkgroup ID 35149 sounds like a statewide Patch system!!! Gotta listen more

 

[mainetrunk]

From what I have seen, they have more than 50 talkgroups. I know others will par-take in the system, but why so many ?

MSCommNet Map November 2014

Not sure if this has been posted here before.

Found it today while trying to see where Coggan's Hill was exactly to see why I was not picking it up on 154.72500.

Must be too many hills in the way.

Oh well, found the map while i was searching the web for more info and thought I'd post it up here in case anyone was interested.

You might want to check out the many links with the history of the system as the folks at SNE have been watching it develop for years
