Austin / Travis County P25 Site in Fayette County

[blantonl]

Band opening this morning was spectacular.

In any case, I logged the following P25 9600 baud control channel this morning:

867.0500 SYS:13E T0108

A quick license check reveals that this is an Austin/Travis County P25 site all the way out in Fayette County. No traffic was heard at all on the site:

866.7875
867.0500d
867.4750
867.9750

Is Austin / Travis County expanding their communications network out East?

Notice that the sysid is different than the primary network 13F.

Anyone have any information?

There is also a site licensed in Bastop as well, although I didn't hear it:

866.2375
866.9500
867.2375
867.5500

WPZW900, WPZW902

Any ideas?

I dunno if you saw my post on centexcomm, but these 2 sites are primarilty for Austin Energy to communicate and send data from the power plants in Bastrop and Fayette Counties back to Austin.

This is the last thing I was told at an interoperability meeting about a month ago

Yes, did see.

Can anyone with a Pro-96 check the sysid broadcast on the two CQPSK sites? I want to verify it is either 13F or 13E.

Thanks!

WACN BEE09 Sysid 13E Sub 01 Site 07 control channel on 866.95000 Mhz

Which fits right into Site 07, Lost pines in Bastrop County
