EWR Feed Restored

[jkaplan]

All,

First, please accept my apologies for the EWR feed being down for so long.

It has now been restored.

Best Regards,

I am going to head over to the feed site this evening to see if I can get audio quality to be better....

Also, I would appreciate feedback:  I currently have the scanner set to listen to Newark Tower (with Priority), AND NY Departure.   Do folks like this, or would they just prefer Newark Tower?

Please let me know.

Thanks!

...or would they just prefer Newark Tower?

I would personally just prefer EWR Tower, as we already have several N90 feeds.  Since both runways are controlled on 18.3, there is plenty of action.

Hi,

I have eliminated NY departure from the EWR feed and also improved reception.

Best,

Any way to possibly get a ground/tower split?

[jkaplan]

Hi,

I am not sure what you mean... but I am open to any suggestions... Can you clarify?

[lostmoon]

THANK YOU so much for this. I appreciate that yuo did that.

Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this fine hobby. Your efforts to get the EWR feed back and running again are much appreciated.

I find that having the tower on a dedicated feed is ideal. Ditto on the Ground / Tower split. If there is anyway to have one dedicated feed for both Ground & Clearance, for example, while keeping the tower on a separate feed, it would be nice. Otherwise, it's great the way it's set up right now.

[Miyridian]

I mean being able to listen to both Tower and Ground on the same feed. Just like you had with Tower and Departure, but Ground instead of Departure.

[jkaplan]

Oh... I see.. Sorry for being dense...

I will be out at the feeder site tonight or tomorrow night and will see what I can work out....

I do not know if the departure/approach freq's are already covered in the NYC area. Only JFK/LGA arrivals are covered as far as I know. Arrivals coming into EWR are not covered as aren't any other flights from surrounding airports (TEB, MMU, CDW, etc.) There is always a lot of action there as GA aircraft try to work together with the commercial birds in and out of this EWR area. Great listening though. Love the support from the feeders. Thank you.
I also know that lot of clearance deliveries are being delivered via ACARS and are no longer heard on the airwaves.

Rdgs, Kris

EWR Tower and Ground both get very busy, the feed would be a lot better if you ONLY had the Tower frequency selected. Adding Ground just blocks out the Tower a lot of the time. The only real solution is to get another radio and have it dedicated to Ground only. But in the meantime with only one radio available it doesn't make it better if you just keep adding on a whole bunch of busy frequencies as people request them. My opinion. DJ

I tend to agree with JetScan1 if ground is very busy.  I can do a second radio in the near future....  I will keep you posted.
