[Scan-DC] Anyone know what freq EZPass uses

[john wilson]

  Correct.

  Reagan National Airport  Parking - 903.0000 mhz.
  NOVA Toll Roads - 915.0000 mhz.
  Powhite Parkway - Richmond - 915.0750 mhz.
  Pocahontas Parkway - Richmond - 915.7500 mhz.
  Toll Roads - Chesapeake - 915.7500 mhz.
  etc.

  They are not 2 ghz. applications.

  Don't plan on using it on the Powhite Parkway in Richmond.  The toll road
management originally, as events since have proven,  negligently installed
the Smart Tag equipment, which is not compatible with EZ Pass, in a large
culvert pipe underneath the toll road.  That's right.  It was installed in a
large drain pipe under the road.  Brillant idea.  No need to build a
separate building to install the equipment...saves money.  The September
rains deluged Richmond and flooded the culvert to its top and ruined all the
equipment.  But not to worry, help is on the way in the form of only a few
hundred thousand dollars more of Va. taxpayer's money.  It all can be fixed
hopefully.  Unfortunately almost two months later it basically still is out
of order.  But the good news is when it is fixed it will recognize the EZ
Pass transponders....maybe.  Meanwhile, bring coins.
