Just inquiring with the new 800 MHz PSU/county system if the frequencies listed on the Centre County page are still in use? I know the PSU 800 has traffic for BJC, etc.

Also, anything heard on the athletics channels?
451.850
461.750
461.775
461.850
463.400
461.5625
461.9125
463.5125
463.8625
462.250
462.325
462.375
462.450
463.400
464.250

Also, unknown frequencies
461.7125
462.0875
464.2875
463.6375
463.6125
462.1875
462.4875
453.0875
463.7875

PSU EMS/Ritenour
155.295
155.235


Thanks for any and all information.

I have never heard anything on the old UHF frequencies up here. All I hear is on the 800 MHz Smartnet.

Last fall, I was up there and was hearing traffic on some of the athletic dept UHF freqs and the ITS repeaters. Anyone local may want to keep an ear on them to see if they are still in use. With the rollout of the new digital system, some users may migrate but I can't imagine all users will be on the new system.

Any updated information?

Chris, from what I understand all the old UHF systems have been depreciated and PSU is running everything off their 800 TRS node

 

[Twister_2]

The RR database certainly depicts a shutdown 800 analog trunked system but every day I see the old system still in use. I only once saw two OPP men with xts2500s. I never saw them since. I still consistently see OPP, housing, etc on their old radios (ht-1000s and smaller motorolas). Based on the antennas and TPT before each transmission, I believe it is still the 800 analog trunked system. I think we should reflect that in the database on this site. I'm on spring break but next week I'll be setting up a scanner to monitor just the old system and the Ford Building P25 site on wildcard. I'll let you know what all has migrated to the new P25.

Thanks Greg and Twister2. I haven't heard anything on the UHF repeaters I have programmed yet. My guess is they are on the 800, too. Thanks again!

Twister_2 the OPP is still on their UHF system. The OPP radio system uses MCD signaling so that is why you heard the pre-transmit tone.

I have been listening to the OPP system the last few weeks and have heard all the normal traffic (electricians, sanitation, CCS, etc, etc) that the system has always had. From what I was told they have no intent on going to the new p25 system.

The plug was pulled on the 800 analog trunked system something like a year ago. Try to find the analog control channels, you won't. No control channel no trunking system

 

[ChrisRupert]

CS Brown. Are my frequencies in the "ballpark?"

 

[Wishbone]

Using an analog scanner and not having much time to spend, I can say 461.875, 461.6125, and 460.6125 were used at Penn State's spring football game.

 

[ChrisRupert]

460.6125 is Centre County EMS Dispatch. 461.875 and 461.6125 are PSU frequencies.
