Have you turned on the Transportation service type to bring in at minimum the one talkgroup that's been ID'ed? Turn on ID Search to see if any un ID'ed talkgroups come up

Yeah, I took it right off the radio reference database and I have no bars. No nothing I put in the channels conventionally I get one channel which is the data channel and that's it

I sometimes work out in Springfield. I was out there today and I probably won't be out there until next month. But I was just basically wondering if anybody else was monitoring the system as well

For whatever reason, they have never gone to the trunk for Springfield area use. Instead they use the conventional NXDN channel 452.7500 R6. The trunk site has just sat there for years running the CC. Once when it was first put up did I copy some test traffic.

The UMASS Amherst area site is very active and I can hear it in CT with my outside antenna.

The use of cellular based data leaves a lot less communications for voice. PVTA uses tracking and fare collection data I believe although I am not a regular listener to it.

Simply program the other site in as you have the Springfield area one.
Freq & LCN:
461.27500 220
462.16250 230
462.53125 240 control channel
463.66250 250
464.11875 260
RAN is 2
