Would you beleive it was 80 on Wednesday, then I was in Nome where I found 10 degrees at 9 am? Now I'm back in Denver and today's high will be 74?
Anyway, about the frequencies.
I found that the hospital has 155.160 listed as Channel 2, "emergency" on tier portables. I'm not sure if that means it's an emergency frequency, as in a back up, or if it's the one to the ER. I say this becuase channel 1 on thier portables was 152 something, and I thought that would be in the range of pagers. There was no traffic on either frequency while I was there.
The one I thought would be the Primary Police frequency, as listed here, was 100% digital. Since I left my XTS3000 at home all I got to hear was buzz and click. I don't know if this was part of the ALMR, or if they just happened to be using digital radios to reduce the number of people listening in.
The only active frequency was able to minitor was used by public works, the museum, and generalized chatter. It was licensed to both the City of Nome, and The State of Alaska. I had thought that would be a "mutual aid" type of frequency, but I never heard Law Enforcement related traffic.
The fire and EMS folks all had Minitor IV pagers, but I never heard any calls or radio traffic.
Incidentally, I programmed in HAM and Marine frequencies, but also heard nothing. AdmittedlyI didn't listen too much to these bnads as I was more interested in the Public Safety stuff. I wasn't able to confirm the HAM repeaters due to my limited understanding of offsets and PL's.
All in all, pretty boring. I think it's going to take someone with a new digital scanner to do a range search for a coupel of days to really update this listing.
