Northern Nevada Coach Busses(old KT bus service)

[Smokey4176]

I was wondering how to get the color code and frequency order to program the DMR system using ARC-XT into my 996P2?
I have the frequency's, but no clue on how to get them to scan properly. All I hear is digital noise.

Which mountain/area?

 

[Smokey4176]

Winnemucca Mountain

Make sure the scanner audio is switched to digital in the settings, if its on analog it may only pick up digital noise ,or set it to all audio,

 

[enosjones]

It could also be encrypted

 

[Smokey4176]

This is how I have it set up in the DMR one channel. I hear nothing.

 

[Smokey4176]

This is how I have it set up in a conventional system. All I hear on this is like a control channel buzz.

 

[enosjones]

So I'm not seeing the listing for these coach buses on radioreference database

 

[enosjones]

The Emission doesn't show dmr licensed for that entity

462.17500000	11K2F1D	FB2	1	17.000	41.01044	-117.76208	Winnemucca	HUMBOLDT	NV
1	462.17500000	11K2F3E	FB2	1

Its Under State of Nevada, Humboldt County, Top right corner is menu. under that is FCC Licenses. Find KT Services(it #6 in alphabetical order, almost to the bottom) I copied all the channels for my conventional program and just the Winnemucca one for the DMR program.

 

[enosjones]

Dmr emission starts with a 7k

 

[Smokey4176]

True, But I would think I could hear them in a conventional system if they are not encrypted. As you stated before they may be.

 

[enosjones]

461.35000000	7K60FXD	FB6	1	23.000	39.63833	-110.34247	SUNNYSIDE	CARBON	UT
1	461.35000000	7K60FXE

This is an example 7k60 is dmr, they could also be nxdn as well or p25
4k or 8k is nxdn
11k is usually just analog

 

[Smokey4176]

I did a custom search 0n 462.1750. I can hear them talking. My scanner tells me its a DMR system

 

[enosjones]

It just says dmr? Not DT3 or Cap?

 

[enosjones]

Does it only talk on 462.175 or does it talk on the other frequencies? If so it is a trunked system of some kind. Do u have dsdplus? SDR Dongles or RTL2832 dongles by chance

 

[enosjones]

Winnemucca mountain only has 462.175 licensed to KT, if its using other frequencies as well as 462.175 on dmr, it could be trunked

 

[Smokey4176]

I got it. Programed it in as a DMR system. Set search for Color Code and Talk groups. Got the color code but no talk group info showed.
I have all frequencies programed in for them, From Winnemucca to Elko. That way I can hear them there. I know its weird to want to listen to a bus service, but I actually get some good road reports from them.
Thanks for the help on this

Sometimes a dmr system may need LCNs logical Channel numbers to track correctly if its a trunked system
