I'm willing to bet that frequency is patched into the PUD system. I didn't think it was still up and running but I'm picking up the 939.0 Meg Type II control channel and seeing limited activity. If you're up in Snohomish then map out this system... looks like there might be (3) sites in total.

Seeing TGID 16048 active late tonight. I'd bet that's the snowplow channel.


PS. There's also the PUD DMR system but I think that just might be for data only. I've never heard any voice on that system.

Do you have the frequencies that system?

Not off-hand but search VHF 150s and you'll find several DMR control channels. Those are SnoPUD. There's also a couple of sites near the 900 meg Type II system. I didn't see any activity on that one today. The Type II system was a little active.

I received the DMR system a lot when i was listening for a co-channel licensee. Don't have my old notes from last year, but I *think* they were using DCC-7.

I found a CAP+ using DCC-7 on the frequency of 153.665 & licensed to PUD. I believe this is PUD's DMR system.

There is indeed voice on this 150mhz DMR system - I have heard traffic controllers and various crews talking to each other but haven’t been able to confirm usage or site locations yet. I have confirmed 8 different sites so far (each seems to have 2 frequencies assigned)

This is what I have so far. Very limited chatter heard

152.8175 LCN 2 CC6
