I did not think about that. Right now I am hearing both tho, I think only Troop B Districtrict 3 is the only one I can hear.... I do hear sporatic 2 way traffic tho....

In Duplin County (B4) I am starting to hear some cars on the common channels. All the dispatach stuff is base only on the 800 side.

I know for a fact that Troop B 3 has been issued XTS 5000 radios, I have a very good friend who is a trooper and was asking me about his "new radio" so I showed him a few fetures of it. BUt yes I know they do have them!
When the trooper is out of the car, he'll use the 800 radio and you'll hear both sides of the conversation. When he's in the car, he'll use the low band. The low band dispatch is multicast on 800, the low band mobile-to-base is not repeated over 800. Hence, the mostly one-sided traffic. This is how it will be until the 800 is completely online with all the mobiles and portables, at which time the low band freqs will be abandoned and the low band radios will be gone for good. You've got about two more years before the 800 will supercede the low band completely. Until the whole state is 800 end-to-end, the low bands will remain in the cars and the dispatch centers will retain the low band capability.

6038 site 18 kenansville
Why do I get this site in t4wins with 100% decode but the freqs in the data base arent the same?I get the following so far.And it sounds like radio tech guys working on the system?talking about cables panels.parts taking off other zones.
868.7375 control data base shows 868.7125 for control channel
868.0875
867.4500
Thanks David Davidson

868.7375 Control Channel
David:
Sounds like you are doing some 800 MHz DXing.
If you were listening from Grover in Cleveland County, you probably were hearing Baker Mtn. in Catawba County.
My BCD396T reports Baker Mtn. as site #18.
Even pointed easterly, I bet your beam would hear Baker Mtn. off the side.
What were the voice channels the software was reporting?
Kinston site in Lenoir County adjoining Kenansville also is licensed for 868.7375. A possibility if there was an band opening of 200 plus miles.

Site Location
Does anyone have road name/number or coordinates for Chocowinity and Greenville sites? I see their completion dates have passed, and were set back until '06. I would like to check their status. It is hard to identify a location on the maps without secondary roads showing.

No problem...GPS will carry me there. I'll check status soon.

Not likely a band opening caused the reception, but could be. As has been previously explained here, if a radio in the Baker Mtn area or wherever is affiliated on the tech talkgroup, then the tech talkgroup will be heard everywhere in the state a radio is affiliated on that talkgroup. That means Manteo to Murphy, or wherever the talkgroup is affiliated to wherever else the talkgroup is affiliated. Not unusual for the western region techs, central region techs, and eastern region techs all to be working the same 8 hour shifts. Since there are all the uphaul, downhaul, fronthaul and backhaul links to deal with from one end of the state to the other, you're gonna hear all kinds of traffic on the affiliated sites. The SHP radio engineers at the Newton Comm Center have XTS500s, so it's pretty likely there's a radio affiliated in the vicinity of Baker Mtn.

If I follow his post correctly, he was questioning which site he was receiving.
He is using software that can pull system ID info out of the control channel. Using that info, he cross referenced his unidentified site in the RR database as being the Kenansville site.
I believe that is in error, and he actually heard those affiliated talkgroups on Baker Mtn.

These are the frequencies for Baker Mtn.:
867.1375
867.4500
867.7375*
868.0875
868.2875*
*Control Channels
I don't think the site # for Kenansville in the RR database is actually verified, so it may not be correct.
From what you have described so far, it is sounding like Baker Mtn. here in Catawba County. My BCD396T designates it 18.

Hey guys...as the primary admin responsible for the VIPER system I thought I would weigh in...the numbering system for the sites listed in the database is still very much in the guessing phase...so if you come up with accurate info PLEASE submit it or send it my way and it will help us make the system more accurate...
Thanks!

I monitored these cells with Trunker from south of Myrtle Beach more than a year ago:
Cell 10: 868.975 CC and 867.975 AC Onslow County
Cell 11: 868.5875 CC and 867.325 AC New Hanover County
Cell 16: 868.3375 CC and 867.8375 AC Harnett County
These cell numbers and frequencies might have changed since I monitored them.

Greetings everyone ! First off, I'd like to thank everyone here for maintaining an active and informative thread here. I follow several states and local areas and this by far seems to have the best flow (for lack of better words) Thanks !!!
Now, I am sure a few of you may be able to answer this for me. I noticed on the VIPER East map that there are two site locations in Brunswick Co. (looks like along Hwy 17), but I don't see site info or frequencies for a Brunswick site on the rr database. How come, why not for?
Also, I am planning on driving through NC to Brunswick (from Ohio) for the Christmas Holidays. 77, 74/52, 40, 221, 74, 501, 130/190. By programming in the control channels for all the sites listed, am I likely to hear much activity enroute? By what I am seeing here, I also need to program in all the low band freqs as well? I am primarily interested in NCHP.
Thanks again guys..good job !!

Map Question
The maps represent sites NCSHP has obtained licenses for. The sites may be in different stages of completion or not in existence at all yet.
They get listed on the RR database as soon as someone verifies operation and submits information.
A lot to keep track of and completion timetables are always changing.
