PSP TAC East, DelCo. help?

[Boomeranger]

The PSP TAC East frequency on 156.15 mHz is one sided. I'm hearing a PSP helicopter talking to ground units but I don't hear their comms.

What am I missing? Low power or a frequency?

And for what it's worth, PSP TAC West on 154.95 mHz has always been silent (in the Media vicinity).

Thanks,

Andy

156.150 is a simplex frequency. You're just not close enough to the ground units to hear them. On the way home from OCNJ tonight, I heard PSP actually working in Delaware. From high atop the Commodore Barry Bridge, I could hear both air and ground (ground units were very broken, though). It was definitely PSP. The voices were very familiar.

Tac-West is 154.905 and it is not silent in southeastern PA. This frequency is also simplex, so you would encounter the same as above...only hear the air unit unless the op is in your general vicinity.

It's the same set-up as PSP ground units. You won't be able to hear the mobile units, but you're able to hear the other side. FWIW, there was a armed robbery of 2 Amish people in East Earl, Lancaster County, and PSP Embreeville put out a BOLO for the suspects but I don't think it was related to what you heard. Do you recall what was said?

ctrabs74,

It's periodic comms that involve the helicopter following actors in cars and on foot, etc., feeding location info to the ground units.

I figured kinda/sorta it was a proximity issue.

Thanks,

Ben,

What PL do you have for these two ? For some reason I have it listed as 123.0 and I'm not sure or should I say can not remember why
