Concerning Duke Energy I'm having a tough time IDing the type of system they use here in Cleveland County, site says it's MOT 800 IIi but the new license data doesn't match what's on the site here, and the new frequency isn't a MOT 800 control channel. Here's a recording of the control channel for the new frequency (ULS License - Business/Industrial/Land Trans, 809-824/854-869 MHz, Trunked License - WNPW331 - Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC - Frequencies Summary) if anyone can help me ID it. Thought I'd post in this thread instead of making another one about the same company.

Duke Energy is full on OpenSky now days. No way to monitor it with a scanner. I need to make note to depreicate all the Motorola systems in the database now.

If anyone is willing to contribute to the other power co-ops, the NC utilities could use an overhaul. I know a few small EMCs that have switched to TRBO, just not able to confirm what sites are active and what have been shut down.

Trumpet, I left the existing Duke Energy systems in SC in the database, but changed the system type to Opensky. There really isn't a way yet to ID specific frequencies, sites, system ID, etc, for OpenSky, so I left the original data in place so that folks would at least know the systems existed and were a format that is unmonitorable.

With Progress and Duke merging, you have to figure that the Progress Energy 900MHz Smartzone systems will be converted to Opensky at some point in the future.

Brian, that's what I meant to say, just didn't come out like I meant haha. I do like how you did that for SC.

If you can post the site ID for Henderson and the control channel for site 15, that would help me do some further investigating. I don't think that's the proper license because PE wouldn't be operating under a Duke License.

I do believe the Progress Energy (I refuse to call them Dook :wink:)

Some of the sites are unlicensed, I've found 2 on the SE part of the state. What is the alias displayed on your PRO106 for the sites, that's usually a huge give away.

Yes, the system is still up and running, that's not a question at this point. I was asking for both sites. So tell me if this looks right so far:

882B-011 "??????" Henderson 938.4250
882B-015 "LILTON" Littleton 938.4750
882B-030 "??????" Tarboro 939.6875

If you can get the two alias' from site 11 and 30 then I'll make sure they get in the database. That seems to match with some of the unconfirmed data I've logged when I was out that way last summer.
