Thank You for the information. I know that uhf repeater was used for Business , tow trucks and such years ago.
The frequency referenced in this thread is not part of the license in the thread that was referenced by oilmillcharlie. In fact there are only to licensees with active licenses on that frequency in Connecticut. Farfield University (WSQ215 IG) and Marcus(WPFU401 YK). The Fairfiedl University license is a FB2 in Fairfield. The Marcus License location for that Frequency is in Hartford on Asylum Street FB6C 100 Watts 500 ERP. I also do not see any FB2 licenses on 46.04 only FBS. I would be interested to find out what you are listening to.

Ok I am hearing valley shore 46.040 ( thats a ems freq) on a uhf repeater 463.225. Years ago I use to hear Eric towing on that freq. They are out of Old Saybrook. I think the repeater is in Killingworth. It was a business repeater. But now all I hear on it is the Valley shore freq.
We use 463.225 DCS 116 as our primary dispatch frequency here at Fairfield University. Funny thing about that frequency which I'm sure you have all noticed... if you listen to it without PL tones put in, you get constant interference. It sounds like someone is keying up for one second, then stopping, again and again and again. Regardless of the squelch setting, I get that. And not just here at FU, I get it everywhere in the state. If you're right on campus sometimes it stops, but when I'm home in South Windsor, it's bad. Any ideas as to what that is?

That keying every second is probably the Marcus LTR system since it's the only other active license in the state for 463.225. According to the license, the transmitter is located at 690 Asylum Ave. in Hartford. Since it keys every second, I'm going to assume that it's LTR Passport.
That makes perfect sense for it happening around hartford county. But I doubt if the Marcus system has enough power for me to pick up the clicks down here in fairfield. Of course, I know several of the Marcus systems are statewide so that might be it too.
Depending on you tower location you could be gettting the LTR system down Fairfield. I am contiually surprised when I use my topo map program and chek line of site with various tower sites. It might not be close enough to get a clear voice signal but you may be able to get the LTR interference. What you describe does sound like the classic LTR system.
We still do not know if someone has put up a cross band on 463.225 and 46.04. If so it is without a license according to the FCC. I guess as long as no one is complaining it will not be a problem but remember one of the big reasons Valley Shore has had a difficult time getting good UHF RF is beucase they are line of sight across the sound to long island and they are saturated. It is pretty easy for users who are being affected to find out who is communicating with them as dispatch centers regularly identify themselves by station ID.
