penndot is using 151.100 p25 for truck to truck/flagger ops in pike county. I think the PA Starnet signal sucks here in pike county

I've picked that up occasionally in Bradford County as well, with NAC 100. Up here that frequency is licensed to:
| 151.01000 | WQFA442 | RM | 94.8 PL | EM Transport | Endless Mtn Transportation Authority | FM | Transportation |
which is generally referred to as BeST Transit (Bradford, Sullivan, Tioga).
Possibly this, but no P25 emission is designated 
Wouldn't be the first time

Thank you, I missed that. In my scanner(S) it's 151.0100 which is an Endless Mountains frequency.
Yes it has a nac 100
Was used today for a paving operation in pike county

Any other reports of that frequency being used outside of Pike County? Could be statewide...
They could be statewide. They could also be using other frequencies as well.
I thought they would still be using these:
STARNet A34T 851.4375 CT:156.7
STARNet D34T 851.4375 NAC 293
When Bradford County came online there were numerous coverage/radio complaints as well. When I first heard them on 151.01 they were in a dead zone, and practically on my doorstep.

151.100 p25
As it cold be a month or two before I can check to ensure that I am not "mirroring" 151.0 I would go with the OP.
It's both. I've seen 151.100 and 151.010. Both P25, NAC 100. They are part of a group of "off network" flagging channels available in the PennDOT radios. They also have the nationwide VTAC channels and have gotten chastised for using VCALL10 for flagging (training issue since those are not in the radios for flagging, but for interop situations; different zones from what I am told, but some crews like to try to "hide" on their radios, using weird channels for things). If they have multiband radios, the old A34T channel is in there, too.
Don't forget, this was discussed back in March when folks heard P25 comms on MURS...also PennDOT. Those are part of the off network VHF group, apparently.

PA Statewide P25 Phase 2 System
My belief is that the system has too many bloody talk groups. I know the state is huge, but they give away TG’s like candy on All Hallows’ Eve! I've seen smaller systems with just as many talkgroups. When PA was on OpenSky they didn't have enough TGs for PennDOT so I think they overcompensated...
I remembered that, and had it in the back of my mind while posting on this thread. I considered posting then but, as I had only heard it once, considered it a fluke. Heard it again about a month ago while in Troy, Pa. which is why I brought it up here.
I've heard 151.01 P25 $100/$293 TG1 RID1 flagger talk as well, Thought it was E Nottingham Twp road crew, Since they are within range, But it likely was indeed a PENNDOT crew.

We should probably keep an eye on 156.135 which is also licensed to PennDOT on that KL6207.
Also 159.195 on KM8424
This sorta confirms 159.195 is in use. Caught NAC 293 today in my log.
wasn't recording, but will keep a closer eye on it. (Just added it to the list yesterday!)
