I would imagine all sites in the region will add frequencies to handle capacity from the increased number of users.

It's interesting, though.
They did a build out study. Seems like they should have been able to estimate load, and put enough channels in per site initially.

First part six months to a year, with some pieces already up, complete build out and linkage to TNVRTRS etc,... several years. Oh and a clarification on the TDMA part... It will be true P-25 Phase II TDMA, not X-2, and yes the new GRE PSR-800's will do that. Not sure on the Uniden HP-1's. On the BO study, they did an estimate, but were not expecting just how big an extra load on they would be told to expect this early. (Mushroom principle lol)
Did You do the firmware update?So, i got my PSR800 up and running and I am trying to program the 700/800 mhz frequencies in for the troopnet trunking system from the FCC site and the scanner will not accept some of the frequencies (i.e. 799, 801, 803 and 804 mhz freq). Found out the PSR800 doesn't cover that part of the band.
Copied from manual
764.00000 − 781.996875 MHz! 3.125 kHz! FM
791.00000 − 796.996875 MHz! 3.125 kHz! FM
806.00000 − 823.987500 MHz! 12.5 kHz! FM
So, I guess I can just program the frequencies it will take and see if I hear anything.
Those frequencies are listed as mobile classification under the license, so i guess I don't really need them if I'm looking for a control channel
Yes, THP will be using Phase 2 TDMA from the git-go on the new 3-channel towers they are installing and the TVRCS. Keep in mind though, that if another state agency like TEMA has a THP talk group programmed into their FDMA only radio and they need to talk on it or monitor then that THP talk group goes FDMA across the board.

Based on FCC database records here's a list of the new Phase 2 TDMA towers/frequencies the Tennessee Department of Safety is getting on the air. For folks in these areas give them a listen and please let us all know when you hear a control channel on the air. Since it's 2-slot TDMA one freq is for control channel, the two other freqs can handle a total of four simultaneous transmissions at once. These sites fill in the gaps where the TVRCS in eastern Tennessee doesn't get into. THP will operate on the TVRCS where sites are available. Keep in mind THP will also operate on new VHF channel assignments in TDMA mode where the 700/800 sites don't penetrate. Those licenses should start popping up too. Their APX series mobiles and portables are dual band and will scan for the best signal whether it's VHF, 700 or 800.

THANKS VERY MUCH for this extensive list. I will program the Grundy, Sequatchie, Rutherford, Wilson and Davidson County frequencies into my GRE PSR 800, which is supposed to receive the TDMA Phase Two, and see if it will receive anything. Also, on 10/17/12, "Thunderbolt" posted a link to a license application for Hoovers Gap, which is also in Rutherford Co., and that license request listed two FB2 frequencies: 769.25625 and 769.53125.Based on FCC database records here's a list of the new Phase 2 TDMA towers/frequencies the Tennessee Department of Safety is getting on the air.
