Thanks. Maybe someway to list that in DB rather than someone thinking it's a P-2
Down South now on the TxWARN system. p2 certainly in use there.
This is already there if you know how to read the database entries. The "Mode" column on the talkgroup listings will tell you what you want to know. "D" is digital (standard P-25). "T" is TDMA digital (Phase II). "E" is encrypted (could be either Phase I or Phase II, but since it's encrypted, it really doesn't matter, it still can't be understood).
I wasn't aware the T meant Phase 2, I always seemed to associate it with some type of phone system, but I am new. You have to look around to find a trunk system with "T". Denton appears to be one of those and I need to set it up and see how it sounds.
Frisco, which is not a simulcast system, comes in fine for me. My local system, which is simulcast and part of PAWM 25, seems to have problems with distortion of the audio output. It is mostly understandable, but is a little frustrating when important parts of the transmission are not.
Frisco is a simulcast system. Frisco utilizes two towers with Motorola simulcast architecture. PAWM has 9 towers which is why some scanners hear simulcast distortion will monitoring the system.
What are you looking at to show Frisco as a Simulcast system? I do see it has two transmitters/repeaters, but does that necessarily mean it is simulcast? It is not annotated as simulcast like the PAWM 25 is..
Wish PAWM was the same way; 9 towers does wreak havoc on your typical scanner but if you find that sweet spot it sounds good, too.
If you want to listen to PAWM, buy an RTL device, and install GNURadio with OP25. I've been listening to PAWM flawlessly for almost two years now. No sweet spot needed.
Uniden/GRE/Whistler scanners suck, all of them.
