Technically, the site coordinates are in Bedford County...just barely.Clearly they consider it a Blair County site as the site name suggests.

Actually, I completely knew that - looked it up beforehand. Not sure why I said what I said in the way I said it. Guess I was in a hurry to get it posted so I could move on with life. My ultimate point was that it's the BLAI02 site, regardless of where the hell it is. And I labeled it as Blair Co on my own map. But I agree wholeheartedly that it's in Bedford Co with a slew of other licenses at/near the same location. And I'm sure my error in stating which county it is in will not make it any less likely or more likely that it'll end up in the DB once it's online. You are a nitpicker!

Deep breaths everybody. There are actually a few sites in the system that straddle borders and are identified with the "wrong" county by their system ID code. Personally, it used to drive me crazy, but I have learned to let go of things over which I have no control.

Well the FCC Database has that location as being FULT01, not a Blair or Bedford site...
I think ya better look again. Which one of these licenses says its FULT01 ?

I'm chill. No feathers ruffled here. Just giving GTR some grief.
Just stirring the pot.

Why don't you look in the database? It aint hard - PA-STARNet P25: Pennsylvania Statewide Radio Network Trunking System, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania - Scanner Frequencies
1.61 Allegheny Region Simulcast
1.66 Connellsville
When you see a site written like that, it's the format DSD+ uses to define a site. RFSS.SITE# Since we only have one RFSS right now, you can essentially ignore that and just focus on the site number.
After checking the wiki, I see those TG numbers were already called out as WPP. But perhaps the Clear voice and Cranberry CSC clues will be helpful.
Watching 1.70 operate at near capacity or full capacity all morning while 1.75 (co-located) barely carries any traffic during the tropical storm. 1.70 is getting absolutely slammed. It maxes out (four convos) on a day when we don't have five inches of rain. I can't see how they can leave it with just two voice frequencies. There must be more NTIA spectrum available.

I've been using FreeScan to record. Is Unitrunker a lot better for recording and logging sites and talkgroups?
Unitrunker does not record audio - although you can use virtual cables to recording software; it more of a detailed logger. It can decode audio from legacy systems, and Phase 1 digital, but does not decode Phase 2 audio.
New UHF site pending in Newport, Perry County (PERR86).
