have stonington police have they always been on s tac 155.6400 dcs271 channel along with their main DISPATCH state system. I'm in North Stonington and I'm picking them up. I was just wondering.

You'll find many agencies on VHF use 153.8300 for Fire Police. It is the national fire police common frequency. Groton Fire is now on CLMRN.I think you may be hearing the fire-police. The fire service in Stonington, North Stonington, Groton & Westerly, R.I. primarily are on VHF-hi.
I am hearing Stonington pd on the 155.64 and the State system and they are same transmissions.
not sure why you'd expect to hear North Stonington on an ASR in Kent, but Troop E simulcast would be the appropriate site for that area.Does anyone know what the correct SITE is for Stonington PD. I downloaded the latest trunked sole for them but can't hear anything. I noticed the file has every site selected so I selected the closest one - Old Lyme. tried Kent Mountain too and also every site. Nothing ??
Old Lyme is very very limited. You need to be on Troop E. Stonington is very deep into Troop E. They do come up on Troop K as well.Does anyone know what the correct SITE is for Stonington PD.

Hi again -- completely stumped here with trying to get Stonington PD. Using Troop E now and also tried Troop K but can only get the conventional town users not PD. I was able to until earlier in 2026 then stopping hearing Stonington. Tried downloading again from RR and uploading via FreeScan No options worked and i thought maybe FreeScan is the problem so got ProScan. Same results no P25. Using BC-996XT. Works at NJ QTH for P25 but not here -- can you give me some guidance or tell me where I can get help on this. I feel like an idiot - worked for Motorola for many years selling PD radio systems. Was an antenna engineer. Then in cellular world but never followed the digital transition for two way. Thanks in advance - 73 Pete W2PM (masesrom@gmail.com)Down there, use the Troop E and Troop K simulcasts. I've heard them on K as well.
Ok thanks. Did they recently change to Phase 2? I was able to hear them last year and I think earlier this year. ??You cannot monitor CLMRN with the 996XT, the system is P25 Phase 2. If the VHF is still patched, that would be the only way that scanner could pick it up.
