American Electric Power / Central Power EDACS

Since this system is heavily scattered throughout the Eagle Ford shale where I work, I have been running Unitrunker on it to try and get the sites updated with the newer frequencies, since much of the data we have is 15 years old at best. I have found one really interesting site setup on this system:

There is a Three Rivers site in Live Oak County, broadcasting as site 4. It has control on LCN 1 and uses LCN 2-4 for data/voice. There is also a site 4 in Beeville, with the same LCN layout, albeit different frequencies. Both report the exact same peer sites. If you look at the license for the Three Rivers site, it has FX1 class control inputs to the Beeville site. I can see how this setup could work, but it is unique to my experience so far.

Anyhow, I listed both as site 104 in the database for the time being. If anyone has a better idea of why the system admins would set it up like this please chime in.

Wow, that is definitely funky. It looks like Three Rivers may be a slave (my word) site to Beeville. I've seen site numbers repeated on EDACS systems but only on geographically separate sites. You listing works for me, at least it's accurate.

The AEP EDACS system in Oklahoma/NW TX (which is probably all the same system) has some sites like that. Two sites next to eachother with the same site number, same neighbors, different frequencies, except there is no FX1 control station.
