I am finding some emissions designator site changes in the Asheville area. I will try to be specific. Previously in the Asheville area there have been traditional M 36 sites such as;
WPZP997 LEICESTER
WPZP957 multi site, represented in SKYLAND and BLACK MOUNTAIN
WPZP757 ASHEVILLE DOWNTOWN
WPZP759 MARS HILL
WPZP745 FLAT TOP MOUNTAIN SWANNANOA
These sites have always had the emission designator representing an M 36 system. as of today they carry an emissions designator of 13K2F3E only, 'A WIRELESS RADIO WHICH TRANSFERS DATA ETC..'
I conducted a short experiment with my trusty, old Pro 197. I completed a band search of 935 thru 940 MHZ in Tune Search mode. All of the sites listed, with the exception of SKYLAND/BLACK MOUNTAIN, registered on the Tune Search as M 36 systems with the proper site information.
I don't know what this change is supposed to indicate. Is there a preparation under way to transition to a system wide Open Sky system? I am only leaning this direction because if I look at a known Open Sky Duke / Progress system such as WNPW331, here are the emissions designators it contains;
20K0F1D, 20K0F3E, 11K3F1D, 11K3F9W, 12K1F9W, 13K1F9W, and 8K40F9W.
There are other sites such as Canton, WQAV229. But the reception for me is to hit and miss for me to include it in this thread. I do not receive the other sites well enough. Who has an idea what I am looking at? Thank you for your help..
