[edit] Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania operates several radio systems on various frequncies, all of which are being moved to a statewide DIGITAL 800MHz system from M/A-COM known as OpenSky. The system was supposed to begin operation status in April 2001, but the transition officially began in late 2005.


[edit] Pennsylvania State Police (PSP)

Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) opreates mainly on the highways of the state, but also provides primary and/or secondary police coverage for areas which do not have a police force of their own.

170.275 PEMA Rain Gauges
171.025 PEMA Rain Gauges
171.085 PEMA Rain Gauges

Rain Gauges are scattered throughout the state, and transmit data on the above frequency back to the local EMA office. At that point it's collected on a computer using IFLOWS software, and relayed to PEMA HQ in HBG via Ku band VSAT satellite system. This data can be viewed via the IFLOWS Homepage.

PEMA also utilizes the Ku band satellite system known as SEVAN to send messages to local EMA offices regarding events around the state, and weather information from the NOAA Weather Wire.

SEVAN also provides for a voice channel to all EMA agencies, and a video channel from PEMA HQ.
