Mike, thanks for the Google map of the system. I see the site 1.95 info has already been updated!
1.95 has been added. If someone can grab a site NAC, we can update that.
For whatever it's worth, Motorola loves to give the MCC 7500 system consoles three-digit IDs by default. Obviously they can be set to whatever the customer desires, but if not specified, you'll usually see the first consoles online start at 101 and go up from there. You'll also see where multiple dispatch centers might wind up with 1xx for one center, 2xx for another, 3xx for a third, and so on.
You will never see registration/affiliation (aka Login and Joins) for system consoles, even when the same console transmits on different talkgroups.
I'm not saying definitively that you're seeing a system console with 302, but it is something to keep in mind, especially if you see 302 on multiple talkgroups with no indication of an affiliation.
Hours of back and forth today on 10138. This was seen in the Philly VHF site. Anyone log it elsewhere? Activity was logged from about noon to about 1600. Unitrunker never shows 302 with a "Joins" action, just the other two RIDs.
RIDS 302, 1200015, 1200008.
Anyone have these RIDS appearing on other talkgroups?
I've seen traffic like this before on other sites, also with 302...not sure if the 120xxxx RIDS are the same as before as I didn't write it down anywhere.
This activity is the one main thing that makes me still doubt the speculative talkgroup IDs. A lot of things seem to fall into place with our guesses, but I dont see why a few units would keep operating on PSP Mansfield dispatch (speculative ID for 10138) when there are so many talkgroup options for them.
Erie site radio affiliation by talkgroup. As of 10/08/2017.

I wonder if he meant affiliation, or activity in general.Erie site radio affiliation by talkgroup. As of 10/08/2017.

A bit of a disclaimer to my previous post, which is to say that obviously with such a large multi-site system, it's possible that you'd never see that 302 ID affiliating with a talkgroup depending on what site(s) you're monitoring (if it happens not to be a system console). Could very well be a portable in Harrisburg that's affiliating with particular talkgroups on the site local to that area, which of course could carry traffic 100 miles away on the Philly site. Someone looking at the Harrisburg site might see 302 affiliating, but you would not when looking at the Philly site.
True! It does make for some good entertainment, though. As long as all of the speculation is in good, clean fun and not taken as gospel until the facts prove things out, I think it's rather nice. Brings a lot of people together towards a common goal in mapping the system out. I suppose it bears gentle reminding that the wiki is for speculation, the database is for confirmation!And this is why this damn system is such a bear to monitor and map out.

There are two sites noted for CUMB04 in the FCC database. One appears to be the old site near the fire tower in Cumberland County (WPQE516), the other appears to be a new site with a much larger tower about a mile to the south in Adams County (WRAD754).I followed up on 171.6875 today. I checked ADAM40 first, since I was in that area, and had a very weak signal on the east side of the mountain. The signal got stronger as I drove west, and I had 4 or 5 bars once I got on the west side of the mountain, near Caledonia State Park. I removed the antenna from my scanner and had no reception at all. I then drove up to CUMB04 and had 5 bars when I parked about 1/4 mile away from the tower. I removed the antenna from my scanner and had still had 3-4 bars on the signal meter.

Obviously these are both 800 MHz licenses, but it is interesting to note that the newer license shows P25 emissions on 800 MHz. They filed a notice of construction last July for the new site.

The entry in the database shows the coordinates and county assignment for the old site. Perhaps someone in the area can check out the new site to verify if that's where the 171.6875 control channel is coming from.
