Yeah, that's the old SmartZone system, nothing new. You were almost certainly hearing analog voice from the same system as well.

No scanners for Tetra but pretty sure sdr dongle and some software will let you listen. That is as long as its not encrypted.

Ah,,,, you picked up New York City Transit Authority Trunking System, New York, New York which lists KNEH690 as the license. Many of those freqs are on the license @k2hz posted of FCC Callsign WNUB732 (NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT AUTHORITY)

Ah. OK. Thanks

So there are receivers with TETRA capability. If there were more TETRA systems I wanted to monitor, it might be worth considering, but a new receiver is not worth it just to monitor the SI rail.

You also have Newark and JFK Airport that has a TETRA system for their customer / baggage operators, as well as a very large and active NJ Transit TETRA system on the other side of the river.

I'd be curious to know if the DV1 or DV10 can support 700 MHz control channels that NYCTA TETRA system uses. To my knowledge PoewrTrunk is the only vendor that has 700 MHz TETRA base stations.

Good call on those systems. They weren't really on my radar screen as my main interest is in the ATC side. Trying to keep it simple to some extent, especially after my P25 scanners no longer work for my local and surrounding depts that have gone encryp. Keeping up with these changes can seem futile.
