Any update on the new site in Raceland if it has been built yet or any plans of one going online there?

Within the last several weeks the LWIN control channel/s for the Slidell area, 770.20625 & 770.45625, are both off-air. I found this working control channel, 769.34375, which is according to the RR database, located in Buras, LA 68 miles away.

I'm getting a S9 signal with a stubby antenna on my PRO-106 handheld. Could the CC be coming off the Slidell tower?

Check and make sure it's not one of the mobile sites. They are reconfiguring the towers in St. Tammany Parish preparing them to be a several site simulcast.

 

[pinkfish457]

That may be the answer. The signal is S9, then for no reason it drops to S5-S7. On Unitrunker the bars go from green to yellow and back to green.

Once the Simulcast goes live, you will have issues unless you have an 436/536, WS1080 etc... or Yagi type ant. Multipath Distortion is an PITA.

Lots of change ups...

OK have recieved a lot of new data, which has been updated,... but now need you guys to do some monitoring and checking with Pro96Com, Unitrunker etc... Apparently Bossier City has converted.. Thats from SEIC.... Need the freqs now in use at the new LWIN site... etc....

There are a couple of new sites about to come online, one in Z3, possibly another in Z4, and the former South Metro Simulcast has been split into separate stand alone sites... We have the new 202, but need the other 2 sites that were part of that cell. Also note that the EBR area has changed and at least 2 sites merged with each other, thus eliminating the multiple stand alones.... The St. Tam simulcast has also added other sites and other changes are forthcomming.

NW Louisiana Changes for security

Bossier City has moved to 700MHz and are digital. I do not have means to monitor them at this time because I have been in Los Angeles for E3 all week.

As far as I know Bossier City changed because people have been posting their info online. From experience of working in communications in the past in that area, this town does not like people listening in on them and rumor has it they are about to implement some sort of digital voice encryption as a security measure.

Shreveport and Caddo Parish are still on the analog 800MHz system but here in a couple year they are going on the LWiN and following Bossier Cities example with making things encrypted so people cannot listen in easily there either.

Maybe someone can help me. I am looking for the City Constable Office for Baton Rouge. Are they on LWIN? And if so ? What is their TGID? I have a Uniden 396 XT.
Many thanks,
Red8

 

[charlie12]

I would say they are on LWIN since everybody else in the Parish is. But I don't know the TGID.

I cant pick up the Tallulah tower control channel anymore. I am picking up the Transylvania tower extremely well now though. Is it possible that the Tallulah Tower has been changed to the Transylvania frequencies? The Transylvania tower is in East Carroll Parish. Im in Madison Parish where the Tallulah Tower should be the strongest for me.

Thanks

Tulullah tower.

Went through Tulullah twice last week. Was working fine for me. I see no changes as far as control channels for any sites in N.E.La. as of last week. All work working fine.

Ok, thanks. Someone is on top of their game.

That one abbreviation - RSS - Really Simple Syndication - wtf??

 

[CastorLB]

RSS is probably the Office of Public Health Reception, Staging and Storing site

Hey you guys that live in the Troop E area can you check and see if the sites that you can recieve have correct control channel frequencies in the RR database? I found three in the Troop I area that have changed CC frequencies several months ago and are continuously those frequencies since then. I submitted that data for update in the database but I am out of range of Troop E and I am trying to update the CC's in a few scanners so they will be ready when I go on the road in that area.

C.C. Frequencies

I just checked the frequencies you submitted with the frequencies I have for Lafayette, Ville Platte, Opelousas, and Acadia parishes and the only difference I see is whether a specific frequency is a primary or secondary C.C.. My guess is that you are only programming the primary C.C. into your radio. You should consider loading all the C.C. frequencies into your radio. The primary C.C. frequencies alternate with secondary frequencies occasionally. If you do this then you will always have access to the site no matter what C.C. is being used. I go to Alexandria (Troop E) every week at least once and all the info for sites up I-49 to Alex and east or west of I-49 are correct as of this week. I'll be taking a trip up to the Natchitoches area and will verify site info up there soon.
