Tri-Met Trunking

[css903]

I am hoping someone can help me with listening to Max Light Rail. I have downloaded both the frequencies and ids per Radio Reference.com. I know that my scanner,RS Pro 106 Digital has been uploaded properly as I can download with WIN 500 A-OK. I stayed in Portland three days with the scanner on for hours several days and nothing heard, no signal, no nothing. Could hear UP , Amtrak & BNSF, NO "Max"
Would very much appreciate help/input! 73's N7ENE

Since joescanner is pretty busy...

MAX Light Rail currently (but will change I think next year) is on the Portland Public Safety Radio System Trunking System, Portland, Multi-State - Scanner Frequencies system with police and lots of others, so try setting the bank to open/search mode and see if you can hear anything.

The control channel frequency I'm currently getting is 859.46250

Your list is out of date. Instead of "Main x" it's now East, Central, CBD and West (the DB has the correct info)

That's entirely possible since I don't have any interest in Tri-Met TGs.
