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 why it may be happening.

I have been hearing this too, I have no idea why they are doing this. My guess is as good as yours. Alto maybe once I heard a Zone 3 Unit being repeated on 155.505, But yes mostly like you said, it's Zone 2 Units.
Im situated in the middle of TMC and SP PK so I receive both dispatch centers, and now with these troop cars in the field being repeated on 155.505. Units transmitting are stepping over each other like crazy and I can't follow the conversations all. Very frustrating.
Years ago the NYSP setup repeaters at certain sites in the region. I distinctly recall it happening with Troop F, and vaguely recall Troop K also testing one or two. I believe this coincided with the narrowbanding, when they replaced some of the infrastructure.
Sounds like someone turned one of those repeaters on in Troop K. Whether that was intentional or not, I guess enjoy it while it lasts.

Thanks. I will keep listening to see if I can hear zone 3 or if it stops. I live in zone 3 (TMC) so if anyone were to be repeated I wish it was zone 3. Zone 2 (Poughkeepsie) always had a much stronger signal so hearing the dispatch is nothing new, but got thrown off when i started hearing the cars as well.

Yeah I remember when Troop F turned on the Schunnemunk repeater. I was hearing Monroe cars in Newark, NJ.
I'm hearing Zone 1 and 2 units today and several sites with CW ID's every half hour or so.
Are CW IDs new?
Station ID's were typically done verbally by dispatchers throughout each shift. A CSQ CW ID is new for SP in all my years of monitoring them!
Word on the street is that at least one site in Troop K's area recently had a rack with Motorola GTR 8000 base stations installed, presumably to replace the GE MASTR III base stations. This may or may not be related to the topic of this thread. 
Are the Zone 3 cars that are dispatched by TMC on a different frequency or is the Base to Mobile frequency that's listed in the DB for Troop K where they operate?
No, they are on the same Base to Mobile freq listed in the DB. 155.505, 110.9 PL
Today I'm hearing Zone 3 cars calling into the TMC in full repeat mode. The audio sounds very good.
OMG for a second I thought it was Troop T (I have all my NYSP analog freqs programmed as a single zone to make it simple for troop T which is my morning traffic report before heading out and it’s a voted system on the troopers radios also…. No flipping thru channels other then tactical talk around for the thruway) haha I said to myself hey let me throw Troop K and F all zones in the mix and see what I hear haha
Yeah, it's great, I am hearing Zone 2 & 3 Cars on 155.505. I don't know what NYSP's intention is but enjoy it while it lasts I guess. Has been going on for at At least 3 or 4 weeks now. It's great!
Lmao can’t get enough GE-Star
