Meshtastic
Most of the Philadelphia and greater MontCo area is operating on LF910 which is Long Fast protocol with a frequency override of 910. This will set your base channel as LF 20 910.00 MHz. See Frequency Testing Explanation - Philly Mesh for more information.

Interactive Services
As part of my Meshtastic setup I have a small script that streams information from the county's WebCAD Active Incidents page (similar to the one I have as a Mastodon bot) over the air to a channel called #MontCoPaDPS. After discussion with folks on the Philly Mesh Discord, I published the latest code to vees/montcopadps and opened an issue that when completed will turn it into a more interactive and less network congesting tool.
