hi, is anyone in the N.O. area receiving any transmissions on the new Latie system? I have a 396t programmed for the system but I don't receive anything. Thanks, hank1944

Hank,
Where are you? Can you hear a control channel? I am concerned that the data we have in the DB is based on FCC dumps and not on people actually listening. We did get more information in regard to the St. Bernard system and I updated based on that, but I am wondering about the TG's. It just seems odd that a Parish would end up with the low TG numbers when Baton Rouge is bound to have a bunch of admin types who probably will get that.

I have started receiving control channels of 766.2812 and 766.7812. I am in Plaquemines Parish and this sounds like St.Bernard. ID's of 5 and 15.

I live in Harvey just a short distance from N.O. & St. Benard, I don't receive anything.

Okay guys, I am in Metairie right now and on the trip over from Houston, I was able to identify about 10 towers (list in truck right now). LATIE is working and people are actually using it. I have not identified any TG as to who yet but am monitoring CCh 764.1562 (maybe 764.15625 but freq resolution is 4 decimals on the 396T) and getting a pretty good signal. TG 27503 is a law enforcement TG and had traffic on it; I have a suspicion who it might be but don't want to speculate right now. Also while passing by Breaux Bridge caught both 17000 and 17001 but very broken up.
Right now I am using the computer in my son's store to pass this update on and will not be active on the boards for the next several days. If I get a chance I will run some software on the signals I can get here (in Jeff Parish) and update the database. In any case I will update it on my return home.
These things were found by ignoring what was in the DB and using two custom searchs I set up on the BCD396T. As a side note, the radio works great on the LATIE so far.
More later.

I have run Pro96Com software using my Pro-96 while monitoring the system on my BCD396T. I have changed the Database entry as plainly, based on the system messages being sent by the Control Channels little, if any of the items in the DB previously were correct. Probably explains why people are having a hard time monitoring the system. In any case, the site numbers from 101 - 1?? are correct and so are the frequencies (as of a few minutes ago). For those of you out there who have a Pro-96 (or 2096) you could certainly help with this effort to de-mystify the system. Get a copy of Pro96Com software (join the Pro96Com Yahoo group and read about it and get it in the files section), use your data cable and your Pro-96 to start tracking the towers closest to you. If you can't do that, at least (using the data now in the DB) try and determine what some of the locations are for those towers. For example T101 is somewhere in the NOLA area, because I can hear it in Jefferson, but it is not strong. T102 is obviously Bridge City (or nearby) because it is full scale here off Jefferson Hwy, near Ocshner.
Do not use the FCC database, in this effort it will be next to useless as the license being used appears to the be Statewide license issued to Louisiana and it does not specify individual frequencies.
Also, I am guessing that TG 27503 is Plaq. Parish SO Dispatch but it is just a guess, some people who have monitored it in the past would be better suited to submit TG info.
No matter what radio you are using, it should tell you what the system ID is; if it doesn't match the data in the general info area of the DB entry, you are listening to something else.

Lou,
Thanks for all the detective work you are doing. Your results will help me decide whether or not I eventually purchase the BC-396. If all police comms are encrypted on the new system I could not justify the expense at this time.
Again. Thanks. On your way back out let me know when you are headed toward Baton Rouge so we can possibly meet face to face.
I live in St Gabriel and work in LaPlace.

I will probably be spending Sat. night in LaPlace and will be leaving on Sunday to return to Houston. We might be able to coordinate a meet. On Saturday late afternoon I will monitor the LaPlace repeater and on Sunday I will stay on the .23 machine until I am in Henderson or so.
When I passed through LaPlace on the way in I monitored the St. John TRS and didn't hear much of anything and certainly no encrypted Tx at all. Where is the SO now?
TO All BCD396T owners:
Lets get some monitoring and TG identifying done!

I have no idea where St John SO has gone. I still hear fire comms on their TRS but the SO is hiding somewhere else.
I'm off work this weekend. I'll be at the Baton Rouge Hamfest this weekend- http://www.lsu.edu/brarc/Hamfest.htm . I'll monitor for you Sunday. Try calling me on the Ascension ARC repeater, 147.225+ anytime.

i work for a large two way radio dealer. i work with the guys who are installing the new latie system. i seen some of it. very impressive. i am still trying to get more details about it. yes there are many sites running in n.o. they will be only digital. i may be helping with setup on them soon. the system is still in testing mode, but the state police are using it. my understanding is that there will be 17 sites in the n.o. area. now we are putting up sites in baton rouge. there is one at tiger statium right now. it is about 2 weeks old. not sure if it being used yet, i will update on here when i find out. others are being adding right now, i will list location here as i find out.

Steve,
Sorry but I couldn't get back online after my last message. No access in LaPlace for some reason. In any case I missed you.
I also have more info on the 700 system which I will update to the DB later today (after I get up again). The BR site is being used, I don't know by who but it is. More later.
