Troop F assistance

[FTMS]

My local Sate Police operate on a P25e ( partial encryption) and i can not pick anything up on my BCD325P2 but on "Police Scanner" app which i can choose my local troop to narrow in down further i here traffic, which to me confirms partial encryption. Still nothing on any of the frequencies that are programmed in from Radio Reference.

Thanks

Sorry to bring back an older thread but this is close to my topic i am inquiring about. My local Sate Police operate on a P25e ( partial encryption) and i can not pick anything up on my BCD325P2 but on "Police Scanner" app which i can choose my local troop to narrow in down further i here traffic, which to me confirms partial encryption.

Which system? And which site(s) do you have programmed? Link to the database for it?

If the site you are trying to hear is simulcast, your 325P2 may not be handling it well enough for you to monitor. It is not a good choice when dealing with simulcast. (I have one of the 325P2s myself.) Your feed provider may be using a scanner, such as an SDS series scanner, (or perhaps one of the SDR dongles & a PC for monitoring) which can handle simulcast somewhat better. It's also possible that the feed provider may be (fortunately for them) where simulcast is not a problem, due to terrain, or a location very close to a site.

I am missing something here. I think you are way to advanced for my thinking. I programmed my scanner with the frequencies from here. Specifically New Hampshire St police troop F, P25e frequency. On my scanner I have heard nothing. On my phone on the scanner app I can hear transmissions from them. Does this make more sense I hope.

Is this the feed you are trying to monitor?

Plymouth and NHSP Troop F Live Audio Feed

Plymouth and NHSP Troop F Live Audio Feed on Broadcastify.com

www.broadcastify.com

That shows as including Troop F. It is a conventional frequency (not a trunked system).
Comments on the feed indicate this is what is being used:

Broadcasting Plymouth Local and surrounding towns including, PSU, Ashland, Campton, Holderness, Thornton, Hebron, Bridgewater as well as Troop-E, CCSO, GCSO, and BCSO and most importantly Troop-F. You will also hear LRMFA. It is a Left/Right broadcast. I am using a Uniden SDS200, HP1 and a BCT15X with a Tram 1411 Discone.
On the feed info page, it appears that Troop F, it's noted that Troop F is using 152.6300.


Is that the frequency you have programmed? The feed provider indicates that several scanners are used for his/her feeds, and an external (rooftop?) antenna (the Tram 1411 Discone) is used, which likely would be providing better reception than just the OEM antenna that came with your 325P2. If the frequency listed for the Troop F is correct (152.6300), that is a conventional frequency, not part of a trunked system, so simulcast should not be an issue. The provider might be much closer to the transmitter site used than you are.

I would suggest that you have your thread be moved to your state forum. You would be more likely to get someone in the area by posting in your state's section. To do that, use the Report link in the lower left corner of your post. Select that, and you'll get a pop-up box for comments. Request that a moderator move the thread for you. Please do not create a new, duplicate thread, on this issue.

You can also try contacting the feed provider & asking to verify which frequency is being used.

Your sure its the same frequency as on your scanner?

 

[FTMS]

Thanks for the replies. The frequency that I imported is the same as what is listed. From what I can tell the tower location is the same as what local police and fire use which I can hear clearly.

As far as moving this into my state forum, I wouldn't want to move a thread that I didn't start into it.

Changes coming to NHSP Troop F

These are the frequencies that were updated this past fall. The frequency highlighted is not listed in any of these so it may have changed. Hope this helps.

Where in F-Troop are YOU

YOU could be out of range of that One Site, that the feeder is providing.

Also it is highly probable the description is out-dated and they are feeding from one of the
current frequencies/sites, as last fall NHSP F-Troop reformatted it's channels

From the Scan New England Wiki

155.8050	R	N852	F-North (Carroll-Twin Mountain)	Multi-Site Simulcast
154.8450	R	N211	F-Central (Carroll-Twin Mountain)	Multi-Site Simulcast
154.6800	R	N852	F-South (Carroll-Twin Mountain)	Multi-Site Simulcast

I am in Warren and the above frequencies are what I imported.

You should be able to hear F-South on 154.680 and possibly F-Central on 154.845. 152.630 and 154.920 Troop F frequencies have been retired.

squelch on 2 ?

That is what I thought but not a peep. I can pick up Lebanon fire truck to dispatch no problem.

Yes

I have not been up that way since just prior to the changes NHSP made. hope - now that the thread is under New Hampshire, some LOCALS can assist.

I would assume you should be fine hearing the South site, but...just in-case something changed, why not ensure you also have the older frequencies for now as well

You do say you hear Lebanon etc, so your Antenna, Coax and radio appear to be fine
I could just be your in a BAD Spot in Warren for F-South, have you also tried the other two??

When I had a place in Bristol, it was easier for me to listen to the Lakes Region UHF Link
and even with NHSP being lowband way back, I got better reception on their UHF Links

Keep experimenting and share what you find.
maybe even take the radio on the road over toward Rumney/Plymouth and see if it hears F-South while mobile

 

[FTMS]

I do have all troop frequencies in there including the old. I get Lake Regional dispatch just fine, Plymouth PD, and Upper valley, Grafton sheriff. It seems strange that not even static is coming through.

Keep in mind,, some of those are coming off Tenney Mtn so more local to you and (not having look at the topo maps) again you maybe blocked from the RF of those NHSP frequencies.

 

[W1KNE]

Either you are having a local interference issue. Easy way to tell is to enter the frequency via quick search (hold, type in frequency , hold again), open up the squelch to 0, and see if you show a signal. If you see a signal despite hearing "hash", then you have interference.
Or
You're dealing with Simulcast issues, as the system is a P25 simulcast.
