Updates to NLMRS / ORION Tower Info

Good evening everyone!

After doing some traveling last weekend and this weekend, I'll be submitting updated Primary and Alternate Control Channel information for the 14 Sites in our part of the NLMRS (aka "ORION") system. With the rebanding occurring, there have been other subtle changes that need to be reflected in the DB.

AND, one thing I figured out most recently is that the tower IDs for Telbasta and Cedar Bluffs are reversed in the database. 860.48750 (110) is _definitely_ not at Telbasta, while 859.41250 (112) _definitely_ is. The reverse obeservations apply to Cedar Bluffs.

KG4WHM - when I was asking you to confirm that you were hearing 110 on 860.4870, I couldn't figure out how you were actually hearing Telbasta from Gretna, considering the distance and intervening terrain involved. Turns out that you were hearing Cedar Bluffs, which is closer and on higher terrain.

I still don't know what OPPD is doing by running two sites on the same RF channel so close to each other.

73s all!

I was using the tower number in the database and matched to the tower number on procom96.
I can receive both towers, Cedar Bluffs and Telbasta, in Gretna.

George, you may want to adjust the Pott County tower info. The control channel is now over 859.2625, not 859.7375.

I have also been seeing TG 2501 popping up this afternoon over Pott County, but Pott County signal strength here in Ralston is weak, and my scanner is having a tough time decoding any audio to hear.

Hey, Rich!

Yeah - I see that! I think we'll wait to make any CC changes until they get the system really up and going.

I've been logging 2501, 2551, and 2595 today here in Murray. Haven't listened to any voice - just logging via UniTrunker.
