ClearTalk MOTOTRBO Connect Plus TRS

[cubn]

I'm hearing a new Connect Plus 800 MHz system in Normal and Congerville. These are on frequencies licensed to Illinois Cooperative dba Clear Talk. There is always a constant control channel and then other TRBO voice channels that occasionally transmit. Initially, I put these control channels in my scanner as 800 MHz and P25 systems but it can't read these as control channels.

I listened to both the Normal and Congerville sites for this system today and found...

Normal site
858.5375 TRBO voice channels
859.5375 TRBO voice channels
860.5375 control channel data (constant data)

Congerville site
860.0625 control channel data (constant data)
858.0625 TRBO voice channels
859.0625 TRBO voice channels

Info about the system from the Buchanan/ClearTalk website.

We need to revisit the existing sites on the Clear Talk -- Illinois Cooperative Association Trunking System, Areawide, Illinois - Scanner Frequencies
to see if any frequencies listed or other frequencies at those sites have migrated to the new system.

Correct me if I'm wrong cubn, but if this is entered as a t sys in a gre scanner, then the audio still won't be clear?
I haven't tried but If I understand the way mototurbo works it can't be understood without DSD ?

Thanks,

Your GRE scanner can only hear digital if it's P-25 so a MotoTRBO signal can't be decoded by it. Although not totally accurate, it's like somebody that can only understand English trying to listen to somebody that only speaks Korean.
