where are the buses?

[simon098]

I have found the RTD frequencies that are part of the state system including light rail and bus mechanics etc but I cannot find the frequencies on which the buses talk directly to dispatch. The old fm frequencies don't pick up anything any more but I have not found anything either on the state system. Anybody know where the buses can be found? Thanks very much. Simon

Hi: Thanks-I have DTRS working well but there are no frequencies on it for bus to dispatch for RTD buses. I have accessaride and light rail and bus operations but no bus to dispatch. I can hear these are being used but can't find them.

Most bus to dispatch is MDT and what's not is above on the TG's I listed.

ok-I receive no traffic on any of the old fm frequencies-what other mdt frequencies are there? Thanks for your help.

MDT means mobile data terminals (aka laptop). I don't know the frequencies for these if they had a system, but the only thing you would hear if there were a frequency is a lot of "noise" with digital information. As for voice communications, they are either one of the talkgroups on DTRS that Jim has listed, or something new that is not known. If you're looking for something specific, you will have to carefully listen to each of those talkgroups as RTD TGs are a mess and hard to sort through.

Heard lots of bus to dispatch traffic on these tg's after the race was over this afternoon downtown.

Thanks guys for your help. The race generated a tremendous amount of traffic today which was fun. A lot of dispatch to supervisors. From what Jim sent I see there are a lot of unknown talkgroups and even the known ones can sometimes be confusing. Hopefully more dispatch to bus traffic will appear. Thanks again for your comments.
