It has been reported that the frequency lineup on these sites has been changed, including control channels. If you live in one of these areas and/or monitor one of these sites, please check and confirm that one of the freqs for each site below is an active control channel. If it is, update your scanners and please report here or in a submission to the MARCS DB that the new control channels are in use.

All these sites have been confirmed to be using new control channels / new frequencies. It is likely that you are going to see any 700 mhz freqs removed from these sites in the DB in the future. For now I left them in there.

Not sure if this was a cut and paste or a typo … I believe the application shown as Sheffield / Mogadore should be Suffield / Mogadore

It was a cut and paste of a typo. The only thing anyone cares about are the frequencies. And the links to the license apps are correct. I can't go back and edit Sheffield to Suffield now so it'll just have to stay as it is.

Any idea which ones will be control channels?

Any idea which ones will be control channels?

No idea. Being a simulcast, there likely will be more than two control channels (which is unlike standalone/ASRs that have only two CCs).
