American Electric Power (AEP) P25 WACN 92715

dsd+ does not log the neighbor frequencies...is that correct?
I have been adding them from my notes from the event screen
Harry

Yes, they are logged in the DSDPlus.P25data file as well. But the neighbor (peer) CC frequencies themselves aren't listed under the same stanza as the site that was monitored. Instead, it breaks them out into individual sites.

For instance, if you had only monitored ONE site EVER, and that site was Alderson, you would see entries in the DSDplus.P25data file like this, where the xxx.xxxx freqs and x-xxx channels would be filled in based upon what you copied on Site 34.34.

Site: 5.5

Channel x-xxx: xxx.xxxx(-1) CC

Site: 16.16

Channel x-xxx: xxx.xxxx(-1) CC

Site: 25.25

Channel x-xxx: xxx.xxxx(-1) CC

Site: 28.28

Channel x-xxx: xxx.xxxx(-1) CC

Site: 34.34 NAC=022 ; Alderson

Neighbor: 92715.1F7-5.5 ; Duo
Neighbor: 92715.1F7-16.16 ; Kingston
Neighbor: 92715.1F7-25.25 ; Rainelle
Neighbor: 92715.1F7-28.28 ; Elgood
Neighbor: 92715.1F7-37.37 ; Flat Top

Channel 0-347: 855.3375 CC SCC
Channel 0-423: 856.2875 CC SCC DATA
Channel 8-846: 856.2875-1 VOICE
Channel 0-429: 856.3625 SCC DATA
Channel 8-858: 856.3625-1 VOICE

Site: 37.37

Channel x-xxx: xxx.xxxx(-1) CC

OK I wondered about those entries. Now I know. So even those bogus neighbors for Alderson are part of my P25 record now. Thanks

Yeah, they sure are. It kinda sucks. I have some pollution in my P25data file as well. What I end up doing is renaming the DSDplus.P252data file (adding a date stamp onto it of the day I renamed it) and then start out fresh from time to time. Not everyone likes to do that. But if you feel like you have more old data than you want, that might be the best option.

 

[DeaconHarry16]

I noticed that even though DSD plus is writing new data to the file the date stamp on that file does not increment.

I had not noticed. Of course, in Windows you can have it show you creation date, modification date, or both. One of them should reflect the latest time it was touched/written to.

Grabbed two unlisted sites this morning (Williamson, WV, and Harts, WV). Submitting info now.

Hi Hiker,

Sorry -- called you Harry lol.

Looks like you submitted a combination from event logs, which is fine. But the P25data file is a heck of a lot easier to read and make sense of. Is there anyway you could submit an addendum on to the existing submission with the relevant P 25 data stanzas for those two sites?

You got it, submitting it now.

Thank you. So much easier on my eyes lol. I might be asking you for some info on some neighbors,, if there are any that I'm unaware of. I'll let ya know.

Great job! Thanks so much. The DB / wiki / map have been updated.

If you get a chance, please look out for Dingess. It's online, but it hasn't been confirmed by direct monitoring and the control channel may have changed since it was originally seen as a peer to a site.

Dingess WV
855.3375 last known cc
855.9375
857.8375
860.8125

The only other sites left in WV (besides confirming Dingess) are:
Arista
Delbarton
Mountain View
Panther
Rock

Rock and Arista are so close that it is unlikely that both would come online IMO.

Yes, the last time I had Dingess showed as a Peer CC 855.3375 was back on 6-14 almost 2 months ago.

 

[HikerGuy]

Just snagged Dingess, adding it now.

Picking up P25 test signals on all frequencies for the Delbarton site. Should be just a short matter of time.

 

[firemantom26]

@HikerGuy just curious as what part of WV are located. Great job and Thank You.

Ok sounds good. Actually, I think Williamson _is_ Delbarton. The Delbarton license is the same freqs as those for Williamson, and the two sites are just a stones throw away from one another. Delbarton was added to a license in 9/2013 and an FCC construction notification filed in 4th quarter 2014 stating that buildout was done for the Delbarton site (on EDACS at that time of course) with the same freqs as Williamson.

So I think that is Delbarton that you found earlier.

Currently passing through far SWVA, not far from Richlands. I'm currently on a ridgetop with great reception to the north especially.

Makes sense! Looking for the VA AEP sites to start lighting up soon with WV's build out nearly complete.

I was just thinking that. I know we have two VA sites online in the DB. Would be interesting to know what their peer lists look like now. I forget who found those sites, but they might want to investigate the peer lists on those two VA sites again to see if anything new shows up.

You never know, but all those VA sites might end up coming online with P25 TDMA control channels.
