Columbus Site MARCS (XMARCS)

I was under the impression that Motorola systems had a 28 channel limit.

A recent update shows more than 28 now. Is this correct??

What do you consider a channel on a Digital System?

28 with up to 4 control channels I think.

I believe those extra frequencies were meant to go to the city site. But I don't have my lists with me to verify at the moment.

Smartnet is limited to 28. Motorola P25 simulcast sites can have up to 30 channels. 859.9875 is licensed to the City of Columbus and should be on that site (and is now).

I receive 853.7750 on the Columbus City Site even though the DB shows it on the Columbus MARCS site.

Ok should be fixed. Somebody posted the changes in the IP thread and I misunderstood them. I shouldn't even have made any changes because the person who posted didn't actually "Submit" that data. When will I learn my lesson.

At any rate, Tom already moved 855.9875 from Columbus MARCS on IP to Columbus City on IP, and I just moved 853.775 and 858.9375 as well as 856.9375 to Columbus City on IP

It's important to specify which site is being submitted to the database or under discussion in the thread, Columbus City or Columbus MARCS. They're two separate sites, and do not share frequencies.

Another potential source of confusion when heard on the radio. . . the "North Star" site in Darke County, or the North Star tower location of the Columbus MARCS site (located on North Star Road in Columbus).
