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.

From what I have heard Beaver county has upgraded things and there are more changes on the way.

PGHScanner.com Blog

Just when you think things are debugged....... I have fixed the links on the new Blog. The links should now work. I will work on the other little problems I see with it when I get a chance. It is now functioning, I just want to fix a few details.

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.
