Here's a system that I found over the summer. Figured out the LCN's and then forgot all about it. One of those projects that was more an exercise and learning experiance in figuring out the LCN's in an LTR system with one scanner than anything else.

System Name: CSA Incorporated
Location: Mobile, Alabama State Docks
County: Mobile
System Type: LTR Standard
System Voice: Analog

Freq. LCN
461.2375 3
463.2375 5
452.2375 9

This info has been submitted to the database by the way.

Hey if want another one to learn about here's one for ya. :twisted:

FCC Callsign WPTR846 Board of Water & Sewer Commissioners of the City of Mobile

I stumbled upon it a few days ago. So far I've only got 452.4375 as LCN 01 and two talkgroups passing traffic about water related stuff with Mobile addresses so it is apparently what it says it is. Talkgroups so far are 0-01-240 and 0-01-241.

Note that there is a mix of FB8 and FB2 freqs. in that listing too.

Yeah, I looked at them a long time ago. But at that time I didn't have the knowledge or methodolgy to figure it out. Not sure I do now <Laugh>.

Been looking at Degussa the past few days. Well at least I was. I have a family medical problem that is taking all my time at the moment. It may be a couple of weeks before I get back to it.

Sorry to hear about your problems and hope everything works out for you.

There are so many of these LTR systems out there just hanging in the wind so to speak. Too many. The problem is that there are so few users (if any at all) on most of them it is hard to document them. I know I've tried a couple of Telecomm Network sites around here with no success. Hurricane Electronics has sites all over the AL area (and all over the DB) that there is little to no info on too. Among many others. It makes one wonder why the owners/operators of these systems continue to pay the power bills to keep these things on the air. It must cost them more than they are earning.

I know what you mean Michael.

While at work and on my lunch break I programmed in the Board of Water and Sewer as a conventional system and gave it a listen for about 40 minutes or so. Very little activity on it. Not sure how to attack this system. Still working on the Degussa system.

Lots of traffic on the Degussa system during the day while I'm at work, not so much when I get off. So it's just a matter of time and some luck. Preliminary indications are that their LCN's are up around 43. Doesn't seem right so am having to double check what I'm seeing.
