Islander,
The Marine Patrol is still using 159.15 MHz, but they are now utilizing the APCO P25 digital mode. You now need a scanner that will receive and decode P25 digital transmissions to be able to hear the Marine Patrol. Unless you have a scanner that is designed to decode digital transmissions, they just sound like a loud buzz when you receive them.
A growing number of law enforcement and emergency service agencies are now using digital communications, including many NH sheriff departments and state police units.
If Skip happens to read this, perhaps he could shed a bit more light on the current status of what appears to be the increasing use of the APCO P25 digital mode in NH.
