42 is the only one in the database (1F7-42.42 White Gate VA)

Ok. bummer.

They are all in there. Look at the Hex site numbers.

Doh, hex -- caught me off guard. Ok thanks.

 

[BigLebowski]

No worries, the Unication displays it in Hex. Need to buy a new cable so I can connect a receiver to my MCT to run pro96com on thr fly. Stupid Windows 10..

1.1 Also had a CC of 854.7875 at one point. So definitely Bracketville, as it's only site licensed with both and the neighboring sites reporting it as a peer make sense for it to be Bracketville.



These have already been listed in the wiki for a little while now as Laredo / Pescadito based upon the two control channels known as well as peer sites reporting them as peers.



Uvalde is already confirmed and in the DB.

For the sites not confirmed by direct monitoring:

Ahh, I forgot you had the wiki page. Thanks. I still wanted to go hit up Uvalde to see if there were any new neighbors since this thing is so fluid at this time. I like to poll the GATRRS sites every once in a while to see if there are any changes too.

Can someone correct the Columbus Line E talkgroup in the database? It’s mistyped to Columbua.

Hitting up Bossier City this weekend. Will be able to 100% confirm Mooringsport, not that I'll be surprised, and spot check EDACS sites close to the TX/LA border as well as my usual suspects.

Folks,

On the old American Electric Power (Eastern US) EDACS system, I have removed all Ohio EDACS sites, most West Virginia EDACS sites and some Kentucky EDACS sites, since those particular locations have switched to the P25 system and there are no signs of old EDACS activity at those sites. I have deprecated the Ohio talkgroups on the American Electric Power (Eastern US) EDACS system.

If a P25 site has been confirmed online and is thus listed in American Electric Power (AEP) P25 , and you know that the corresponding EDACS site is no longer online but is listed in American Electric Power (Eastern US) as being an active EDACS site, please consider submitting an update to the EDACS system here and let us know which EDACS sites are offline and should be removed from the EDACS system.

If you are in OH/WV/KY and can confirm that specific American Electric Power (Eastern US) EDACS sites are online, please list those sites that are still online as EDACS sites in OH/WV/KY.

Thank you

If His site references were in hexadecimal...43 an 44 hex are Stuartsville and Penhook.

They were, and my mind was out to lunch that day

I have that problem also.

1F8 Site 87 West Corpus Christi (Lon Hill Station) 854.7625 is being reported as neighbor on several sites as of today. Same CC as George West so will have get close to confirm, Also new site 63 (855.6125) is reported as neighbor to site 51 Falfurrias, but not online yet. Possibly Pharr or Los Fresnos site. Unfortunately all of the high speed data channels are interfering with reception of most sites from base now.

P25data extract attached.

Could not get close enough to Del Rio, but got 1.1 Bracketville, 50.50 Eagle Pass, 58.58 Laredo and 59.59 Pescadito all confirmed tonight. Then I get to my 4th floor hotel room in Cotulla and realize the band is wide open and I didn't have to drive at all, lol. So......I can hear practically every site in South Texas at this time plus the RGV, Laredo, Corpus Christi, San Antonio and LCRA systems, 700-800-900 all wide open. Problem is......these L3Harris high speed data channels drown out some of the sites on the same frequencies that I could otherwise hear.

1F8 Sites 63 Pharr and 64 Santa Rosa received this morning. 87 Lon Hill/ W. Corpus Christi was confirmed back online. Edna, Site 114 confirmed w/new neighbors 7 (CC not matching anything nearby and same as Edna's) and 9 Weimer? Latest P25data file attached.

I don't know if your tropo event is going on, but you might want to try and see if you can hear any of those other sites around Edna , like Fannin, Port Lavaca or Kenedy, to see what their peer list looks like now.

I think you pretty much have everything nailed down now. As far as 7.7 855.2625, it's probably only going to be one of three site locations. And it might be a failed/isolated neighbor just advertising a bogus CC for now.

Thank you, Bob!

And we all need to remember the data written to the P25Data file is permanent, in that if peers were listed on a site at one point, they will remain in the P25data file forever. I say this because Edna's data in the P25data file suggests Beeville and Refugio and Kenedy as peers, when that may only have been the case before Fannin came online. Fannin sites in between Beeville/Refugio/Kenedy and Edna. With Fannin online, I'd be surprised if Edna was "actively" listing all of 14, 42 an 43 as peers. But, I could be wrong.

This is first time I have received Edna so I believe the peers are correct. 42 Beeville is still reporting Edna as a peer also. There are several site that have a large number of peers that are well away from the primary. Now that most of system is on-line, will start with a fresh p25data file and drive up toward Houston to see what I can find.

Rgr that. Like I said, I could be wrong -- and apparently was I can't believe how fast you guys conifrmed nearly all of the STX sites.

1F8 - Site 98 ( Sarita) reported as neighbor to site 87. It is currently shown as off-line. Received Refugio 43 locally today. TDMA channels now reported in attachment. Receive Cuero 105 locally today. SCCs are populated now. No luck finding site 7. Leesville only location left in area. Was too far away to monitor it if it is online.
