VIPER Statewide Radio System Discussion

New Thomasville VIPER tower going up. This will also hold the antennas for the Thomasville ASR site that is part of the Guilford p25 system.

Awesome. Can’t wait to drop this vhf system. Hopefully the change over will happen around July.

I've previously heard 'comm center" using RIDs of 1090000 to 0002, are these no longer in use or were they different from the dispatch radios?

Other Lincoln County RIDs I've monitored are listed in the RR Wiki at http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/VIPER_P25_Radio_ID's

Any idea of the timeframe of when the Tyro VIPER site is supposed to come online? I will probably be able to hear that site, but Thomasville is a bit of a stretch as I can barely even hear the Thomasville ASR sites.

Last I heard was the tower was up and they were hanging equipment on it.

Just some updates for our North-West mountainous counties from some monitoring today:

Wilkes FD, Alleghany SO, and Ashe SO continue to be patched into VIPER. I also noticed that Appalachian State University was using VIPER although I didn't hear much traffic. This may have been going on for a while, but it's been a long time since I've really monitored the Watauga sites since they are around 70 miles away so it's not any easy catch.

The Boone PD and Watauga County Sheriff VIPER TGs were active as well, but it appears to be used for special ops as all normal comms are still full-time VHF.

I'm hearing encrypted traffic on 38515 this afternoon. Not in the database. I assume it's Randolph SD.

The Kenansville site (03-032) in Duplin County has now moved from the 800 band to the 700 band per FCC license WRCP208. The new CC is 773.95625. I will submit info to the RR database later.

Yes, I also have notes that suggest Randolph UID on that TG.

Search and Rescue training exercise happening now with multiple counties, NC National Guard, and Emergency Management. Have heard them on VIPER HOTEL 2 (51984) and DPRR 8 TG 1 (51909).

Happening in Burke County. Multiple agencies involved in this training.

I haven't been able to figure out this TG 38515 either. I have it in my log as "Randolph Unknown" and rarely hear traffic on it. If it's now encrypted that would explain why. From what I remember, I've only heard administrative and logistics type voice traffic that TG. Things related to meetings & training sessions, etc...

Here is the media release:
NC DPS: Water rescue teams to train in large-scale flood rescue exercise

The exercise was at multiple locations, including Lake James and Johns River.

Speaking of WNC, it appears Rutherford County Fire VHF channel (159.195) is being simulcasted across VIPER Rutherford TAC 1. Not sure how long this has been going on or if it is permanent.

No interop silly the Ramsey st VA and the Raeford Rd VA operate on two different freq Ramsey St being VHF/P25 and Raeford Rd being Fay VA Viper #2 it would seem if the were all on viper it would be a little better, just saying

 

[newsnick175]

So, in Gaston County the towns of Belmont and Cherryville have Viper operations (ids: 18578 and 18990).
Local media reports that the city of Gastonia has recieved grant money to replace FD & PD radios. Including consoles. Any ideas about the county dropping out of UASI and hooking up with Viper?

The new Thomasville tower is taking shape. Here is a pic from this morning.
