463.275 DMR in Norfolk

A few days ago, I plugged in HRT's light rail on my TYT MD-380 to what what traffic on that is like.

All is as it's reported in the RRDB, however there is apparently something else on another TG or maybe another agency that's on the same frequency. I say this because the receive light will light up, I see a signal on screen. I see it when I switch between time slots but there's no traffic on either TG 1001 TS 1 or 2001 TS 2.

My immediate guess is that HRT has another group on one of the time slots. Since this radio doesn't have promiscuous mode I don't think I'll be able to figure out for sure what it is that the HT is seeing.

Anyone with DMR promiscuous capability? BTW, before anyone asks, I have this system set up so I won't accidentally transmit.

Is that system supposed to be trunked or conventional?

Conventional.

Conventional.

It’s possible they could have another channel/slot. If I recall, I remember seeing that as well

I was down that way today and recorded 144 transmissions in open DMR. Only TG's 1001 and 1002, and using slots 1 & 2 respectively. In ONLY one case, I found TG 1002 using Slot 1, but feel like that's probably an error on the scanner's part.
