Simulcast Termonology

[n1chu]

I’d like to get the terminology correct when differentiating between a P25 simulcast system’s “sites” and what to call the various transmit and/or receive locations within each site. I’ve been referring to these various locations using the word “location”. But I believe I’ve seen the term “sub sites” used also. Previously, I thought the term “site” referred to the only transmit/receive geographical location serving a specific area. But recently I’ve come to learn a “site” can be a collection of more than one transmit/receive towers within a single site’s area. So, what to call these towers? Sub sites? Nodes?

Also some users confuse when a Trunking System Talkgroup sets up a VHF link so they can still page members with pagers it is referred to as Simulcast and people think the entire system is Simulcast which it is not. We need some term to use to separate the 2.
