Subject: [Scan-DC] Snowplows, where are they?

It's been awhile since we had a good snow.  And I miss Mike Agner's old
snowplow freq list.

In any case, has anybody figured out what freqs the snowplows use these
days in and around the D.C. Beltway?

I ran Pro96Com on STARS's Arlington site for much of the day.  The only
hits were the two main VSP TGs and two alternates, the VDOT Safety Service
Patrol and just a hit or so on the TOC talkgroup.

On the Maryland side, I don't get much reception at all for FiRST yet
inside the Beltway... and I assume the 47 MHz channels are gone, right?

In D.C., I have not heard much from DPW in years other than a few oddball
talkgroups on the trunked system that do not get much use.

I didn't bother checking for the county plows but I should try that later.

Are these plows all using PoC (PTT over cellular) or another technology?

Thanks,
Alan
