I feel a strong sense of deja vu. Isn't that how this conversation started? You have been given all of the information that anyone can provide.

Since you hear no activity on the licensed frequencies they, as is common with many school districts now, may be leasing service on a trunked system. One Voice Network has numerous reported active but unidentified school bus Talk Groups in your area. That would be a good place to start your search. Use the search scan feature since their TGs may not even be among the known unidentified listed in RRDB.

I also notice the WNDC907 license is for stations with the antenna on the school buildings and specifies for maintenance, security and administration so this is apparently intended for in building coverage and you may simply be out of range.

I agree with K2hz. Good luck with the schools, I am in the process of hunting the schools around my area, MOST of them are VERY low power, either they run on a low power repeater just enough to cover their schools, a couple of them I found are just using HTs only (no repeater), or they are on the area's trunk system. In my case most of the schools around me are running with a repeater on site at the school and it just barely can be heard anymore than lets say 5 miles away, but that's to be expected they cover only for their needs.

Not accurate - original post was in a general forum asking what I’d expect to hear if in fact someone regardless of the entity was using DMR. This post was in a regional forum asking locals if they’ve had success in hearing g the specific agency. I was hopeful for someone with an actual beneficial reply would be able to assist such as the most recent replies.
What a dumpster fire thread. Soory that noone local helped or awnsered yet.
OP look at the emissions of the license that might tell you something. I have been trying to figure out the districts coms for a few months now. And your guess is as good as mine as to what they are operating on.
My guess is low powered analog that you probably cant pick up outside of the school property. Ill have to look at my notes when i get home.
Do you have the DMR upgrade on your SDS? Can you link their FCC license for WPSD again?

I have been in touch with the OP via DM prior to his last post and he has the info he needs but if you have any specific info of value about White Plains he would appreciate it.
10-4 i will let you know.

Hey, Nick. Yeah dumpster fire is a good analogy. Just got the SDS200 last week. Hopefully Santa doesn’t miss it from his inventory. 🤭Here’s that link FCC - WPCSD. Hey, on a side note nothing positive to report on the Pville DPW but the PD antenna project has been completed and I’m pulling them in consistently.

Is there a particular school of interest?
Did you read the thread before you responded??? The OP was very specific and asked and answered.
Not only did he not read the thread before responding that mentions the district. The school district in question is in the thread name aswell.
Reading is fundamental.
