I received a DB submission from a user basically stating that Windsor PD patch to the Windsor LTR system may be not correct in the DB. In a nutshell, the same freq 460.7 (IIRC) is listed as a LTR channel and a patch channel.
I have not noticed any threads here stating that this is incorrect or is causing problems for scanner.
Can anyone local confirm if the channel in question is a valid LTR freq or patch freq (or both, none, etc).
If some local users and monitor what is going on there and report back in this thread so a DB change (if needed) can be done...please do.
I asked the user to create a topic here, but I think my statement back to him was cut off so I made this topic.

Both the Windsor LTR trunked system and the Windsor - Police (patched to trunked radio system) are shown in the database as using 460.7000 MHz
One or the other is wrong. From the sequence of frequencies listed for the trunking system, I would assume the 460.700 frequency is in error since it's listed as a non-trunked conventional channel named Police (patched to trunked radio system).
I drive through the area occasionally and my HomePatrol locks up on the conventional channel since it's also listed as part of the LTR trunked system. I suggest removing 460.7000 from the LTR trunked system and leaving it as a simulcast channel. I don't know for sure that this is the case - I'm hoping someone local can verify this.
The best I can do is create a new favorites list with both the LTR and conventional channels in it and try modifying it on-the-fly but I'm not sure this will work nor be the best way to verify the error.
