I have been unsuccessful at finding operation frequencies for Capital Manor a large retirement community, I’ve seen their portables (Motorola) antennas look to be UHF?
Thanks

The Motorola XPR7550 UHF antenna is about 3.5 Inches. Are they part of a larger group or owned by a holding company using a different name? Locating the frequency via the FCC database can be a challenge if the license isn't under Capital Manor.
Longer, but suspect not VHF, most likely not listed under Capital Manor.
Larger group possibly

Doing a site search in FCC database shows nothing within 1 mile of the facility other than Polk County, City of Salem, Salem Electric, and one other unrelated license. My bet is they are using unlicensed freqs or rental radios.
If you are near by try close call/spectrum sweeper.

Most likely,I will keep my CC searching on my SDS-100
Might get a hit, radio traffic is limited at best

RaleighGuy is probably spot on. My local hospital ER Security and County Fairground use GMRS and FRS handhelds. I've listened to some nursing home traffic, when you find it you're going to be disappointed I fear as it's mostly bed wetting and ground level falls.

I'm not familiar with the name, but if it's like most senior facilities (like The Springs), the rooms have automated call buttons that will announce over the radio the room number and what priority was pushed. Make sure your search includes the "input" freqs 455-460 and 465-470. Around here they were still using FM, but newer places might be on DMR. I found 3 facilities in my area just by accident. A search of the ULS will show nothing. The companies sell these places all the cool tech, but don't bother to tell them it can be heard miles away and that they need a license.

Understandable, fortunately this is an active senior community so just maint and occasional ( night) security traffic. I’m using my cc on my sds-100
I did upgrade my 100 to DMR, that might make a difference during the CC search

Thanks, interesting radio. I’m going to try the CC option in the SDS-100 first. Radio traffic is sporadic if best.
Says expired, but I've noticed allot of businesses keep using after expiration

Thanks so much, 👍. I see the higher output 20 watts might be a base and the lower power might be portables?
Looks like the have a repeater?

I did today get a photo of the base station at Capital manor Kenwood
NXDN not DMR I think
From I learned today the system uses about 6 channels ; grounds, building maintenance, security, transportation, general services,
