Any word as to when the State Radio Project System will go live? I know they have been doing a lot of work on the high-speed digital microwave backbone over the last year. This will be used to connect all of the site together.

Additional statewide freq for OSP: 159.0225 WQQG819
Lists 4000 units versus the 2000 units for the 154.6725 & 155.4525 freqs.

Wonder what its use is???

I've noticed that the OWIN (Oregon Wireless Interoperability Network)
website no longer exists and that the State Radio Project site has
nothing on a new trunked system. All of the info there refers
to upgrades to the microwave system and replacing, fortifying and adding
OSP/ODOT VHF repeater sites, new mobile radios and narrowbanding schedules.

According to the website, "one of the State Radio Project's goals is to
repair or replace critical components of Oregon's deteriorating state radio network
and extend the useful life of the existing Oregon Department of Transportation and
Oregon State Police wireless communications systems".

A new 700 MHz system doesn't look promising at this point at least for now.

http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/StateRadioProject/docs/SRP_Communications_Plan_v1.pdf:
The project will build a trunked, two-way radio system in a “horseshoe” area that includes the Willamette Valley, north to the Columbia River Gorge, east to The Dalles and south to Bend.

Map of the VHF / proposed 700 MHz trunking sites:
http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/StateRadioProject/docs/SRP_Deployment_Zones.jpg

June 2012 Progress Report:
http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/StateRadioProject/docs/MPR/2013.06_MPR.Full.Report.pdf
The project has determined that there are 41 sites for the trunked radio system. We will continue to develop these sites; we completed one in May and will build at a steady pace through the fall. Trunked sites should be substantially complete next summer.

Is this correct? WSP Clark County is running P25 on 154.68 MHz, which seems to too close to this OSP McMinnville frequency and location.

154.6875 is a 15W fill site in the Hwy 18 corridor and is narrowband.
154.6800 WSP is also narrowband and is 77 miles as the crow flies
from Rose Lodge.
Both repeaters are toned.

Not a problem.

Confirmed today that 154.6875 is OSP Dean Mtn (Reedsport) used by OSP Coos Bay. Didn't catch a PL though.

According to the ODOT Channel Names document here is the new ODOT simplex channel plan:

Red - Statewide All Districts
Green - Statewide All Districts
Orange - Districts 2C, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13
Black - Districts 1, 4, 7, 11, 12, 14
Yellow - Districts 2B, 4, 7, 9, 11, 13
Gold - Districts 3, 5, 8, 9, 14
Gray - District 1 Only
Pink - District 2B Only
Hood - District 2C Only
Tan - District 10 Only

District 4 Albany and District 7 Reedsport both use 151.0400 131.8 PL so that might be Black or Yellow. District 4 was using 151.0850 131.8 PL before the narrowband switchover but now that freq is silent in Albany...so other districts' simplex freqs may have changed as well. District 5 uses both 151.0700 and 151.0850 both with 131.8 PL tones so those could be Orange or Gold.

Does anyone know what Red or Green are? I have every frequency licensed to ODOT in my scanner to try and figure some of these out. I know ODOT simplex isn't exactly a hot topic but every once in a while there's something interesting. Plus its kind of fun to listen while I'm stuck in road construction.

The ODOT guys in District 4 (Benton Linn) have been using the "Flagging" channels and the one they have been using this week during the storm is around 156.035 - 156.040 area not finding a license for it right now but when plowing/.sanding and plowing in gangs they will coordinate and chat here and leave one radio in scan to pick up the district frequency (151.025 or 156.135 Salem) to respond to calls for service from station 2. I am picking up trucks on 22, 20 and 58 on simplex the last few nights and it is getting very hectic trying to keep up with the snow and ice.

Here in the Albany area District 4 is using 156.045 100.0 PL as simplex. Which is strange because that same freq and tone is the district 9 repeater for The Dalles area unless they changed it.

Just confirmed that 156.2325 100.0 PL is Simplex Red and 156.0375 100.0 PL is Simplex Green.

District 4 Albany is using Green right now and District 3 in the Jefferson area is using Red.
