Some opinions

[K2KOH]

So far my PCSO feed is going well, except for PCSO Channel 17, which I've lost for some reason. Currently, I'm using my R20 and feeding Channels 1 (PC 911) and 14 (PCSO Control East). Is there anything else anyone would like me to program into the scanner?

Why don't you & hvscan collaborate & let him supply upper Hudson Valley railroad feeds & you can supply lower Hudson Valley railroad feeds.

That's a thought...I have the Metro North Harlem Division Southeast yards about two miles away! hvscan?

You probably already have 161.28 MHz (AAR 78) MNCRR HARLEM DIV. programmed, however can you fit these in too?

161.22 MHz (AAR 74) MNCRR-PD
160.545 MHz (AAR 29) MNCRR-NH DIV..
160.98 MHz (AAR 58) CSX WEST SHORE RIVERLINE
160.8 MHz (AAR 46) CSX-AMTRAK-CP/RAIL-P&WRR
161.07 MHz (AAR 64) CSX-AMTRAK-CP/RAIL-P&WRR
160.395 MHz (AAR 19) HOUSATONIC RR
161.505 MHz (AAR 93) HOUSATONIC RR
160.485 MHz (AAR 25) NYS&WRR NORTH JERSEY/NEW YORK SOUTHERN TIER

I excluded 160.95 MHz (AAR 56) MNCRR-HUDSON DIV. because they are at the waterline. If you are going to include: 161.505 MHz & 160.485 MHz, please keep in mind that these frequencies are shared with NYCTA BMT-DIV2 & NYPDTD F4/TAC. 2 respectivly. Let us know & thanks again.

I started an air and rail feed for Dutchess this morning after PM discussion with FLRAILMAN. I need to get a ground loop isolator on to clean up the audio. So far, there is much more air traffic than train traffic, but that could be due to the weekend. I'm in Dutchess, near Pawling, so we could probably compliment each nicely with the train traffic from both locations.

AEMTKieran, another thought is if you can pull in the train traffic from your location, I could split mine off and run it with just the air frequencies.

I actually get the trains getting their clearances from Brewster North up to Wassaic, as well as yard ops. 161.280 on both of our ends would work quite well. When I get home this evening I'll add it to my feed.

Sounds great. Let's plan for lunch some day.

 

[K2KOH]

Cool!

I put Metro North Harlem RTC 161.280 on my feed. Let me know how it sounds, but I monitored for a few minutes and was able to hear a northbound train to Wassaic getting clearance from the Southeast tower.
Now if I can only get that damned PCSO Channel 17 to work....

Sounds great. I put up an Orange County rail feed from my brother's house today. I'm going to get a better antenna on it next week.
