Atlanta Area UHF Federal System - New?

[ChrisP]

I'm down in the Norcross, GA area with the PGA Championship Golf TV coverage this week, and started picking up a UHF trunked system I have no info on.

I'm getting a control channel on 406.7750 MHz, P25 System ID of 3B9, WACN BEE00, Site 103. It shows connected to Site 101 (406.1125), Site 102 (408.8375) and Site 104 (408.8375). The voice channels are showing a P25 NAC of N3B3.

I'm thinking there might be some military connection as the tables show a 380 MHz band available.

It's not coming in super strong up here northeast of Atlanta, but it is consistent. None of these frequencies or system information shows up in Internet searches or Radio Reference.

My first thought was that they could be upgrading the Federal Protective Service trunked system in Atlanta to P-25. It is also a 4 site UHF system. But, when I drove up from the airport last week I don't recall coming across these trunked sites in my initial scan/search of the federal bands.

Anyone want to take a guess at who or what this system is and where it's located?

Hey Chris, I'll be monitoring it since it seems to be in Gwinnett county. Unfortunately, I'm not getting any readings on the CC's. May have to try my gain UHF antenna.

I have received no control channel info at all. Next to impossible to hear in N Gwinnett county. Nothing heard on rides to the south.

Thanks.

Site 101 comes in fairly well in downtown Atlanta, but it is not located there. Site 103 was coming in better up in the northeast metro area.
