Can somebody sort this out and tell me who they are

LAS VEGAS

217.7025 =?

217.6175 =4
217.6225 =4
217.6275 =4
217.6325 =4
217.8275 =4/5
217.8175 =5
217.8225 =5
217.8425 =5
217.6925 =9
217.6975 =9
217.8975 =10
217.9725 =10/15
217.9675 =15

What model of GRE-based scanner are you using?

I assume you are saying that in jest about images, but I do believe there is legitimate market licensed spectrum just below 220 MHz.

for figuring channel layout i use a radioshack scanner

Do you hear the 200 MHz stuff on both radios?

I'm just trying to rule out images on the GRE-based scanner.

They're not images, they are actual services in use, been noting them for months now in the 216-217 MHz range here and that is an area for licensed commercial use. While it always struck me as odd that I never was able to figure out precisely who the frequencies are licensed to, the activity is indicative of disposal companies more than anything else. They're not images of lower frequencies...

Roger that. I know the local 200 system went dark years ago and never came back.

The reason I brought up the GRE thing is that mine picks up stuff from the 450 band in the 200 range.

i hear it on both scanners

To search the FCC database for geographical market based licenses follow the instructions at http://wiki.radioreference.com/inde...xxxx.29_in_the_FCC_database_and_found_nothing

The wiki article is about paging license but the same situation applies to the 216-222 MHz auctioned spectrum.

Here's my logs during the last time I was in Las Vegas:

I pick them up with Close-Call while on I-15 in the Apex area, so I assume one of the repeater sites is there at the Apex LMR site. That'd make sense as the primary landfill for the LV area is hidden away in a valley behind Apex. You can see the entrance & truck weigh station on the S/E side of I-15.

Anyone know the radios being used? I wasn't aware of anyone having any out besides a couple amateur radios.

the scanner i have is a uniden bcd396xt

 

[Ghstwolf62]

Thanks but I meant what radios as in what radios were being using to transmit on those frequencies and do it in LTR mode.

Finding 220mhz radios is difficult and the best and only good one I know is the TYT 9000 and that's Chinese and problematic from what I hear. The only other one or two are low powered nothings.

So was curious what was being used. Commercial gear is almost always preferable especially if its M stuff.

I believe both Motorola and Tait make 220MHz LMR gear... There are probably others.

Lots of good gear out there just as tough as Motorola... Usually at better prices.
