Been hearing SP Troop K as a repeater a lot lately. This going on anywhere else?
NYSP Troop K Repeaterized?
- Thread starter K2KOH
- Start date
What are you hearing exactly?
Yes. For a very long time.
Wow, never noticed it before. It's interesting sounding when Zone 2 and Zone 3 transmit at the same time.
Sounds like normal, but rather than sounding like a repeater it almost sounds like a mobile extender, if you know what I mean, Not like a normal repeater like the SO or 911
NYSP Troop K
Listening to NYSP Troop K and I am hearing some troop cars being repeated on the base frequency 155.505. As near as I can tell, it is only Zone 2 units I am hearing. I am not hearing any Zone 1 or 3 units. Just wondering if anyone is hearing this as well and if anyone has any insight as to...
Oh ok, I see now. So yes all of Troop K sounds like that now, All 3 Zones. It is much better. Like others have mentioned it has been going on for some time now. See the thread above.
I'm not sure about other troops. I think in some places Troop F has the same setup. I don't think Troop L has this setup. But others fro that area can chime in as I don't monitor other NYSP Troops Often.
It's actually horrible when both Zone 2 and 3 Transmit at the same time. Units stepping over each other like crazy. No one can hear each other or their respective dispatch center. You can also literally hear the more powerful station transmitting over someone. I remember at least 2 or 3 pursuits on 684 or 84 this past year that involved Zone 2 and 3 units and the conversation was nothing but static because everyone was talking at once. Dispatchers and troopers were becoming very angry because their message wasn't relayed or heard. What a mess.
Yeah all I get when that happens is a loud buzz. Well, good to have it.
Troop L (Long Island) Sadly, no changes at this time.
Yeah, Same here. It's very annoying but there's nothing we can do about it, as the stronger signal will always win
Additional Troop K upgrade info: The State Frequency will be simulcast throughout the Troop - coming soon.
Troop F is up next for Zone repeaters/equipment upgrades.
Troop F is up next for Zone repeaters/equipment upgrades.
So does that mean I will be able to hear Troop F here in Pike county PA.? Because of my location I have always heard the Sullivan county NYSP units on my scanner and 2 way radio with no issues. Orange County uses the Orange County trunked system and that I can not hear in Pike County PA.
You'll continue to hear what you hear now, however if they turn on the repeaters for Zone 1, you would hear the mobiles as well.
