Nazareth School District

[sibbley]

Anyone out there ever played with the Nazareth School District frequencies listed here?

Pennsylvania Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

I've been trying to monitor the district's frequencies since early this year. I've heard voice on 1, 453.0000 DCS 156. Only 1 other frequency ever has traffic, 464.4375. Almost sounds trunked. I get like a control channel sound on and off as if it's a conversation between 2 radios.

Earlier this year I thought it might have been from another user on the same frequency, but it disappeared when school closed in June. Now school is about to reopen, and the sound is back. I'm left wondering if the school has a trunked system. I'm not that familiar with trunking. Would the control channel have sound on and off or would it be constant?

I'm attempting to use unitrunker today, but so far when the sound shows up I get nothing in the software.

I am out of your area and can't help monitor. Info from the FCC database shows the following:
WPLY700

453.000 Repeater output (Probably the main channel)

They also have the following for mobile use only (Probably handhelds)
462.4875
464.4125
464.4375
464.450
464.4625
464.6625

Many schools in my area have a similar license. The mobile only channels are usually used
by speciality groups such as athletic teams, maintenance etc. and are active only on a sporadic
basis.

The 464.4375 (KNNF338) is also licensed to: Northampton County Area Community
college. They have a large number of frequencies, and are licensed for a Mototrbo
system. (not trunked).

Good luck. With school back in session, things should be buzzing. Yesterday, (Wednesday),
was the first day here, and activity was going crazy.

Interesting. I looked up the frequency 464.4375 and did not find NCC. Yesterday afternoon I began to think this noise could be Mototrbo. I have a local hospital that I know is Mototrbo programed (same sound). Must be the college I'm getting.

Thanks,

Just noticed you are in Gettysburg. My wife and I spend time there when we can get away. Was just down last month to listen to the reenactment and the NPS.
