The NH Marine Patrol uses 159.15 MHz as its primary communication frequency, and it uses digital P25 technology. They are also assigned the frequency 854.4875 MHz, which used to be an analog frequency, but I have not heard anything on that frequency in quite a while.
Exactly. When they switched to digital, it was scrambled. Can you get all those now with the new scanners? Do you know where you can buy those scanners in this area?
