Beaver County

Beaver County fire units testing on 155.7225 PL 103.5. This frequency is not new, but the PL is and the signal hear is MUCH stronger.

Scanner Digest

Dan Rhue had been writing the Western Pennsylvania column is Scanner Digest for a while, and recently has stepped down. I would like to thank Dan for the good job for he had done on the column, and for his continuing contributions he makes to the hobby.

I was asked to write the column and I have accepted that job.

Scanner Digest is a news letter that  is available via email as a PDF file. This is published by Lou Compagna and the columns are written by local hobbyist. This provides good information for Pennsylvania up to Maine.

Scanner Digest web site is http://www.scannerdigest.com You can download older issues at the site and sign up to receive it as well

ARRL Diamond DXCC

The ARRL has a Diamind DXCC award to celebrate 75 years of the DXCC program, All contact have to be made during this year. The list is based on the DXCC list as it was 75 years agao.

I have received my certificate for this program, I currently have 109 entities on that list. I have worked more DXCC entities than that, but the list then is a lot different, and some current entities did not exist all or were part of a different entity.

PGHScanner.com Site Update

New pages have been added :

Amateur Radio Links
K3FS Station - QSL Policy - Log Search
QSl Cards Received

Changes made to the site :
Guest Book is now on the PGHScanner servers
Survey is now on the PGHScanner servbers
PGHScanner Forums moved to the PGHScanner servers
PGHScanner  Blog moved to PGHScanner servers

The moving of these things to PGHScanner servers makes the site more streamlined. Both the guest book and forums have been improved, and should be easier to use.

All of the old postings have been imported to the new blog. This will eventually be the only blog that will be updated.

The Events Calendar is now working again.

Eventually the QSL site will not be able to support the changes being made. At that point QSL site will be phased out. I would encourage all to update the links to http://www.pghscanner.com as all updates and changes will definitely be supported there.

NFL 2012

Major changes for the NFL this year. Looks like they have licensed frequencies for each stadium for use at games. This includes four frequencies that are licensed as repeaters for each stadium. These will be used for the QB and defense helmet radios. Primary and secondary repeaters for home team and visiting team. They are no longer using rolling code voice inversion scrambling.  They are now using a digital format. I do not know the specifics of the digital format, but it sounds like MotoTrbo to me. This system replaces the old system of every team being assigned a primary and a secondary frequency, andusing these at every game, no matter where they are. I will list the frequencies for each stadium as listed in FCC records. 

Arizona Cardinals :
451.3625, 463.4875, 463.5625, and 464.5875 are the listed repeater outputs.
Atlanta Falcons :
452.7875, 462.4625, 462.5125 and 463.2375 are the listed repeater outputs

Carolina Panthers :
463.2375, 463.5625, 463.8125, and 464.7875 are the listed repeater outputs.

Also noted in use was 461.550 as digital as well. This frequency had been used at the stadium before, but used to be analog with PL. I will have to tweak my programming and see what is being used. I think there is more digital being used and will reprogram without PL and DPL.

Friendship Village - 463.550 PL 162.2 - Transportation
Baptist Homes - 464.9125 - Operations
Metro EMS - 462.000 - Station 910 is not their official station number

North Boros police departments on 155.010 PL 114.8 are also moving to North PD 11, and may very well be on there already. I suspect there is still a department on 155.010 still, and that simulcast will be shut off once the final department has moved over to UHF.

Allegheny County Updates

I received this email :

Hi Frank,

Just wanted to pass along a few more updates you can post to PGHscanner.com when you get a chance...

---Springdale Boro EMS (Station 230) went out of service last July, and the Boro is now covered by Lower Valley EMS (Station 150)

---I also believe Versailles VFD stopped their volunteer EMS service as well (Station 650). All EMS calls I've heard over the past several months have all been covered by Elizabeth Township Area EMS (Station 520), with the fire department QRS 286 being dispatched as well.

I confirmed tonight that Elizabeth Area EMS, station 520 is now covering Versailles. Versailles station 286 is rolling a squad first responder. Squad 286 is dispatched on the East Fire channel, and responds on South EMS channel. I will make the updates to reflect station 650 as being closed.

I have also not heard PACER EMS Response, station 920 for a while. I believe that this station is out of service as well. I will update the site to reflect this station as out of service.

The Allegheny County Web site does list Lower Valley as the EMS agency for Springdale Boro.

Thanks to the local PGHScanner.com user for bringing this to my attention. I will confirm the Springdale Boro information and update that as soon as I can.

I try post any frequency information submitted to me on the Blog. Please let me know if you want your name mentioned with your information, or if you would prefer it not be posted at all. I will only place information that I can confirm on the web pages. This is part of the reason why PGHScanner.com continues to grow, and be up to date.

Richard E. Christian

It would make sense that someone like Rick would be against SOPA. There are a lot of problems with the bill, but I think Rick's actions are what the bill is trying to stop. Pirating domain names, and content.

Rick is now redirecting the K3FS domains to other sites or to his Stop SOPA page.

Rick STOP using the K3FS domains.

Verizon pages

Verizon no longer allows FTP to their site. The allow only the use of their Site Builder application to update or make pages. Due to this I am no longer able to update those pages. I am trying to get Verizon to take those pages down. Please update any old bookmarks.

It is the long term plan to update the site, to the point that even QSL.net will not be able to support it. Please bookmark only the PGHSCanner.com, PGHScanner.net, and PGHScanner.info domains.
