I don't see the trunk system anymore. What happened to CHI Center / CenturyLink / Metropolitan Entertainment Convention Authority DMR system?

Removed from database?
I thought there was a DB entry for it two years ago.

 

[NebraskaCoder]

There was. I can't find anything.

I went back and looked through submissions to the DB, and I did not find a submission to add (or remove) the MECA system. Are you sure it was a DB entry and not just discussed in the forums? Here is a previous discussion with a lot of references to MECA and other DMR systems:
Nebraska DMR | RadioReference.com Forums

If anyone can map out frequencies, CC, LCNs, and Talkgroups please submit it and I will get a DB entry created.

Maybe that's what it was. I was confused as I went to the Internet Archive Wayback machine and still couldn't find a submitted system. I'm still stuck with the following notes. I thought someone verified more LCNs but maybe not.

Frequencies
455 N 10th St:
    • 452.250000MHz - CH 01, 02 - LCN 1 - DCC 10 - Checked
    • 462.225000MHz - CH 05, 06 - LCN 3 - DCC 10 - Checked
    • 464.812500MHz - CH 09, 10 - LCN 5 - DCC 10
    • 452.850000MHz - CH 05, 06 - LCN 3?? - DCC 10
    • 464.962500MHz - CH ??, ?? - LCN ? - DCC 10

---- Talkgroups ----

    • 11 = Security

    • 10 = ?
    • 12 = ?
    • 20 = ?

Big thing I can’t tell is how ballpark & arena are broken up on the system, are they separate sites? Or just two different programming zones within the portable radios.

Assuming they are licensed correctly there is only one transmitter location for the Trunk system.
FCC Callsign WPYN377 (METROPOLITAN ENTERTAINMENT CONVENTION AUTHORITY) (radioreference.com)

The two groups are probably different talkgroup zones for TD Ameritrade Park, and CHI Health Center (formerly CenturyLink Center) operations respectively.

This system was added to the DB just in time for the CSW finals:

Metropolitan Entertainment Convention Authority Trunking System, Omaha, Nebraska - Scanner Frequencies (radioreference.com)

Please submit any additions or changes if you head to the ballpark this coming weekend!
