Has in the state of AK especially in anchorage, ever hear anything from this site? I know the CC is 866.450 and it's statewide. But for some reason the system remains totally quite. Their also quite on the other two frequencies or i guess Voice channels. Someone submitted info stating that they can confirmed that site 101 is an ALMR one and active. :? :?

Yes, I submitted that info. As you may know, that 800MHz site is part of ALMR, the info on my Pro-96 also shows: BEE00, SY142, T0101 and yes, it's been quiet.... for now. (I never said it was active BUT anyday now, when you least expected....)

That's how it was in Fairbanks, for weeks, a control channel will be up and running and until a week ago, when the military exercises started, it's when I started hearing stuff on it. Plus, the way the system works, if nobody is around and/or affiliated to a certain site, then you won't hear traffic. (Of course, that was over-simplified)

I've been submitting info for Anchorage for the past few days and more to come.... since I'm down here for work training and so on.... ;) :) Keep checking all parts of the database for Anchorage and the Valley.... :)


Anchorage is part of Phase 2 and 3 of the system implementation, that's why you haven't heard much YET, here in Anchorage. The North Zone, of course, was meant to be done first and DOD the main user for now.(We up there in the Fairbanks Borough are the "guinea pigs" for a lot of stuff, including the latest cellphone network from ACS Alaska (CDMA2000 1xEV-DO))

I also know that some sites will be in the 800MHz (mainly in Anchorage and other highly populated areas), even in the far future the 700MHz band might come into play.

This system can "interact" in all bands and users in analog/conventional as part of the whole inter-operability scheme. I personally heard long time ago when they tested inter-operations with Aircraft band freqs (i.e. 121.5 AM) and Marine band (i.e. 156.80) on the system.

Anyway, that's all for now....

Today, for the second time on different days I've heard traffic on Site 101 (CC 866.45).

*** Frequencies used: 860.2125
(Interesting enough, that frequency used to be from the Municipality of Anchorage system [WNQL400] )

*** Talkgroups heard: 11951 & 29903

Now I can say and confirm that is ACTIVE! :) :lol:
