There's no "Fort Mon" tunnel? Could this be the Wabash instead?

I've found with PennDOT, during the plowing season, they bring on lots of temp drivers. I've heard lots of swearing and very lewd stories.

I can testify to that!

I have a note that TG 11697 is/was intended for the 279/579 HOV Lanes for safety patrol and opening/closing the gates, but they never seem to use it for that purpose. I certainly could be wrong.

That makes sense to me. There is a "Parkway Patrol" TG that I have only heard used once or twice, but it was for the Parkway East I believe. PennDOT seems to not use the term "Parkway North" and instead calls it 279 and then 579 or the Veterans bridge. So it would make sense that that would have it's own channel.

Site 1.146 JEFF53
Control channel: 161.950
Site NAC:946

Just found it in my SDS100 in Brookville. Unknown what other freqs may be in use. Hopefully someone with better equipment than me can analyze the site to find the data channels.

I will also make a submission.

Also, the new Armstrong County site in Templeton is not on air yet, at least that I was able to tell.

The Blanket Hill site is reporting a neighbor Site1.146 CC 161.9500. I guess that also officially eliminates the Westmoreland 700 site that WAS site 1.146. Of course that 700mhz site has not been on for quite some time.

New PennDot TG 11404. This is not in the Talkgroup Research list or the database. UID 1784881 which is PennDot but do not know which District, possibly 8 based on the research list TGs that surround it. Not enough conversation to confirm its use. This was heard on the Blanket Hill site.

Game Commission Fire Ops were added yesterday for the Northcentral Region. If 12066-12068 are correct, what is the 12070-12072?

Nobody seems to have caught/submitted any the SC Region fire ops talkgroups, yet (except Fire Ops 1). I would imagine it's them. If you look at the series, the Fire Ops 2, 3, 4 for each region except NW appear in a block near the upper end of the PGC talkgroup series.

Did they do that quickly due to the wildfire in Elk County yesterday?

 

[ChrisRupert]

Did they do that quickly due to the wildfire in Elk County yesterday?

I don't believe so.

 

[GTR8000]

Did they do that quickly due to the wildfire in Elk County yesterday?

Added to the RR database, not to the system. The PGC Fire Ops talkgroups have been provisioned in the system and codeplugs for quite some time.

 

[ChrisRupert]

With the Game Commission Fire Ops. been added, does Fire Ops 5 and 6 exist or are they the Admin/Common/Spare?

 

[ChrisRupert]

Any ideas on the talkgroups following DCNR's 12805 area?

Good afternoon

I’m in the Fredrick County Maryland area a lot in the Ballenger Creek area. I’m currently using a Uniden SDS100 and would like to listen to Adams County FD, State Police, and what we call down here in Maryland, Maryland Department of Resources. Hunting is in season and I know how serious PA takes their hunting lol

I see that theirs a site in Adams County but it also says Cumberland. Is this a typo ? I’ve never scanned anything in PA before.

Any help to pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Big Flat is about 100 yards into Cumberland County from the border with Adams. Not sure if you’ll receive from this tower all the way in Ballenger Creek area, but it may be closest tower to try. Lot of hills between Big Flat and Frederick.

Adams FD is on SCIN but PSP is fully encrypted.

For hunting related traffic, you'll want the PGC Southcentral Region talkgroups. DCNR's Forest District 1 covers that area. The forest rangers will assist game wardens with hunting issues, especially on state forest land. PSP is all encrypted.

Sites of interest would be FRAN02 (VHF), CUMB04 (VHF and 800), and YORK35 (800).
