Anyone have any clue what TRS these Freq's are part of?

Just picked them up with the Signal Stalker on my Pro-83. 898.237 and 898.225. Both were very clear analog input freq's to what I thought were BGE's TRS. The output freq's equate to 853.237 and 853.225 but those freq's are not part of the BGE System. When I searched the MD database, it returned nothing. Any ideas?

These are inputs to a 900 MHz. system, add 39.00 MHz. to the freqs and you will find the corresponding outputs.

Might these be Arinc?

As a follow-up, Systems in the 851 thru 869 MHz. range use mobile inputs 45 MHz below the output, systems in the 900 MHz band use inputs 39 MHz below the output.

800 MHz repeater inputs are -45 MHz offset from the output. Those are probably 900 MHz repeater inputs (-39 MHz offset from output). Are you hearing WNPW672?

Sorry, in may haste to figure out what I was hearing, it never even occured to me that I was picking up a 900MHz system. I actually did know what the repeater offset is for 800 but fogot what the oftset was for 900. Thanks for the refreash! I don't remember seeing any references to the comcast TRS in the RR Database. Is it in there? I'd like to plug it into my scanner to see how active it is. I never knew comcast had a radio system. I thought they communicated via Nextel.

The frequency that you mentioned is licensed as conventional. Is there any evidence of it being trunked? It is not in the RR Database.

Yes, I know it's not in there. Which is why I was surprised to hear that they had a license. Let me do a search and see what I can find. What I heard was a repeater input. I suppose they could have a conventional repeater but I doubt it. More to follow! How did you get the info on WNPW672? I'd like to see if the other freq is in there. That is why I think it's part of a TRS. I heard the input side of the conversation and it hopped back and forth several times between 898.237 and 898.225.

I just looked up the freqs using the FCC data search (in Maryland). That other frequency is (licensed) as a part of a trunked system: WNQL622.
