VENA08 Rocky Grove PA (Venango) 800 mhz
- added this new site to WRAJ230 but the app is still pending at this time
- same site location as the Rocky Grove 700 AG site


854.0125
854.2875
854.5375

So I don't know if they are just adding 3 800 mhz freqs to the existing site, or if this will be a separate site.

Looks like the 700 freqs are off the air and have been replaced with the 800. 854.0125 is the new control channel and is showing a NAC of 949 and is showing site 942h -01. This is being heard from a 325p2 and a lowband antenna in Oil City.

That's good news. Did you submit that to the DB? If not, please do. But, I think there is something missing. 942h is obviously the system ID. But there is also an RFSS value and a Site value needed. Only one of those is shown in your information.

I wonder if that's the start of the things they might be putting on the Zone 2 controller. I don't remember how Uniden scanners show things.

For instance, if I run Analyze on my SDS100 I'll see something like this for a site on Ohio MARCS in Ohio

System ID: 00348h-003
Site ID: 0076
WACN: BEE00
NAC: 348h

I would not think that the -01 you show is Site 01 in RFSS (zone) 1, since that site is Garland in Warren Co.

So I'm wondering if the -01 you speak of is the Site ID and the Zone (missing in your info) is actually 2. Because we already know they have a second controller that they eventually plan to bring online.

Could you do some checking to confirm. It's either going to be 1.xxx, or it's going to be 2.1

Actually, now that I think of it, it could also still be 1.145 -- same as the old 700 AG site, with the only changed being the freqs.

For the other replace air to ground sites, the site number stayed the same.

New site: LYCO01A

LYCO01A: SHAFFERS PATH, SE OF SKYLINE DR, MONTGOMERY
WILLIAMSPORT, PA LYCOMING County

Frequencies:
854.0625
854.3125
854.6375

Hmmm, looks coincidentally identical to a submission received earlier today under a different RR account. Naturally that other member confirmed that the site is actually on the air before making that submission, although given the complete lack of actual details like Site ID and NAC...not likely. :rolleyes:

Keep an eye on the location. It should be active some time in the next few months. It was still using 700MHz frequencies at the end of April. Once it converts, we'll need someone to confirm the site particulars have not changed.

Certainly will, might be just out of my range but I'll add the frequencies into the SDR tonight.

Has Warren City been reassigned a site number, or was it brought into the Simulcast site?

Any clue if WEST03 is going to get switched to 800MHz freqs, or is it off air completely?

So I've had no issues scanning the network with my scanner and SDR but I was curious if my APX would NAS StarNet because the network uses P25 Radio Authentication. Before I wasted my time programming and finding out it doesn't work, I wanted to check here.

The authentication challenge occurs at time of subscriber registration.

That was updated tonight. Was informed that they had changed the naming on some of their fire channels plus a new combined fire ems dispatch channel.
