Round 1 starts tomorrow (July 30) for the 2015 PGA Quicken Loans National at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, VA. Anyone going to be attending in person? Maybe Dave (dtscho)? I will be monitoring from home since I can pick up PWC fine.

Today, I have noticed more radio traffic than normal on PWCPD Special Event 1 & PWCPD Special Event 2. Talkgroup #'s 1027 & 1029. I suspect that PWCFR will be using talkgroups in the 51x range (3061, 3063, 3065, 3067, 3069) or something like that.



2 new notes on the new PWC Phase 2 TRS.

1.) Pro96Com finally now shows the system's flavor as Phase 2. It was showing Phase 1 even though TDMA talkgroups were active. Must have been a bug in the code.

2.) Talkgroup # 1005 (PWCPD Central 1 Dispatch) is no longer regularly patched with Talkgroup # 3122. PWCPD Central 1 is now only on Talkgroup # 3122 during evenings/nights. It is still patched with Talkgroup # 1003 (PWCPD East 1 Dispatch) during the day. Around 1800 today on my Pro-668 I locked in on Talkgroup # 1005 and never heard anything but did see Central 1 was being used on Talkgroup # 3122 through Pro96Com.

I'll probably go up there for one of the days of the tournament. Not going to be attending, though. (I'm sure they wouldn't let me in with a computer and scanner!)

Should be a lot of interesting monitoring. The tournament was licensed for DMR frequencies:

DC Scanning: Quicken Loans National Temp License

The golf club is licensed for a couple of UHF repeaters:

WQPU455 (Robert Trent Jones Golf Club) FCC Callsign Details

And of course I'll be keeping a close watch on the Prince William P25 system.

Dave,

Good finds yesterday. You did a lot of monitoring.

I believe that the PWCPD Special Event 3 talkgroup was used for parking at Jiffy Lube Live. I also heard a dispatcher on Special Events 1 & 2 at different points yesterday and today.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking about Special Events 3, especially since that's the way it's normally used. Thanks.

Dave
