Before the Re-Banding I used to get the Jackson and Munith towers....now I only hear talkgroups on the Munith Tower, nothing on the Jackson Tower,,,Is anyone out there picking up anything???

Did you program the new Jackson Tower frequencies into your scanner? They should look like this:

851.48750
851.68750
852.56250
852.73750
852.96250 Alternate Control Channel
853.06250 Control Channel

Another issue might be if the Jackson Tower is in site trunking mode for any reason. If so, it would not network with the other nearby towers, but may have some local traffic in the Jackson area, but nothing for other areas.

No, didn't go back to 868. That would require a total re-tuning of the combiners, re-programming the site, and post testing the site. Don't know why that would happen.

I understand that but I am listening to 868.0625 as I type this, 2 weeks ago it was 853.0625.

I just checked the programming of that site. It's still at 853. Could be you're hearing something else.

My error guys. This site was re-banded (for a very short time), then returned to the old freqs due to hardware limitations. Will be back soon.
