FYI the RR frequencies database lists 851.1125, 852.8750, 853.4000 and 853.4250 mhz.as the Manassas trs frrequencies. Most likely it is a P25 Phase 1 trs. Manassas Park is a user on the Manassas trs. Its' talkgroup is 3001.

Select the RR database listing in "trunked systems".

Are you in midland? The P25 system coverage might not be that large and you may be outside the reception coverage.

As a heads-up, the system is fairly low powered. As an example, I am near the Costco/Bull Run Shopping Center, and can only get about two bars, enough to listen well.

Yeah its low powered. I'm 8 miles away from the city and get nothing. My SDS-100 struggles as well and only get something about 3-4 miles away from the city.

John, have you tried a different antenna with your SDS100? I ended up going with the Diamond RH77, there's a good 800mhz only one, but this one seemed to give me the best performance on all bands around here (STARS, RR, Aircraft, etc).

Using the Remtronix 800mhz antenna right now. It does a good job, I'm going to have to give that one a try though as I need to switch antennas everytime I need to go to STARS.
