Washington County new P25 System

Where can I find this info on the new system?

You should start with the Radio Reference database here:

WCN (P25) Network Trunking System, Varies, Oregon

It's Saturday, january 15that 9:16 p.m. and I seem to no longer be able to receive the east zone, and I'm not seeing any activity on any of the east zone frequencies. This happened on Tuesday late afternoon as well.

I'm getting the control channels on the CornPass and west zones. East should be gang-busters as I'm really close to one of the simulcast sites.

Is anyone else noticing this as well?

SDS200 for feed#1102 only had Simulcast A site 9A4 programmed, and it stopped receiving around that time. Reprogrammed to the Cornelius Pass 9A5 site and so far scanning and audio heard on dispatch and ops 34.

I'm also showing site 1.4 Simulcast A as failed/isolated right now... I switched over to Site 1.3 Simulcast B

Looks like it's back up this morning. Someone had a very challenging Saturday evening.

34378 is Wash Co Parks

Simulcast A site 1.4 (9A4) sometimes does not broadcast expected traffic on WCF Ops 32 or WCF Ops 33. There are times WCCCA official channel 3 and 4 feeds have traffic but not heard from this site. Has anyone else noticed this? Using SDS200 and SDRs same result.

 

[ChrisP]

Zpdx, I've noticed the same thing. It appears that Simulcast A is not necessarily carrying all activity on the system. I want to try and monitor more than one of the simulcast sites and compare traffic.

It's obvious that this system traffic is much more based on actual affiliations to a particular simulcast site, as opposed to broadcasting all activity on the system "backbone" sites, like the old Motorola system.

Will the Uniden BCD996P2 work well with the new Washington County system or is simulcast distortion going to be an issue? Thanks.

 

[Baker845]

Uniden BCD996P2 will work with new system. Uniden BCD996P2 does do phase 2 systems. simulcast distortion depends. If you are in area close to one or more sites you could get distortion. I get simulcast distortion on Douglas county Vhf analog system.

YMMV. I have a BCD996P2 and live less than a mile from one of the simulcast sites. Even with a yagi pointed at the site, I have trouble receiving reliably. I have moved to using OP25 on a Raspberry Pi for reception. It's nearly flawless using the simple telescopic rod antenna that came with the RTL SDR kit.

Question for those who have better RX on the WCN 800 system. My BCD996p2 is tracking on the Goat Mtn site fine and I'm hearing both WC-Fire and Clackamas Co Fire automated tapout ok, but NO other radio traffic such as additional medical information or fire info while units are enroute or arriving. Is dispatch acknowledging VERBALLY then units go enroute or arrive to calls. (Not hearing size-up info or special requests.) .

Have you tried to compare your end against what WCCCA is feeding to broadcastify?
