Site 20 is very strong here in Fremont and my guess is that this is Monument Peak, above Milpitas. I don't think Loma would be as strong here. I"m in the shadow of both Diablo and Sunol, so not from there.
On the 50001 from the screen shot you attached it appeared like that was possibly a private call between RID 763310 and RID 50001, did it log in your files as a group call? I have seen reference to both of those RIDs on other posts.I've logged channel grants for TGIDs: 22 131 132 135 137 138 143 146 147 148 301 438 861 862 1601 3851 4502 50001

I believe the data that @N6ML is showing is what's coming from the control channel, not what's being assigned to the control channel. The control channel runs in FMDA mode so it wouldn't have a second timeslot open for traffic to be assigned.@N6ML: Is it correct that the group calls are being assigned to the CC? Is that possible (i.e., even on phase-2 TDMA, is a second timeslot available on the CC? I would have expected actual Group Calls to be assigned to (and reveal) the non-CC (voice/data) channels. @scannerboy02: Are your channel grants to non-CC channels? Or is it just logins, etc. that are being seen.

I confirmed it Saturday as Diablo.I can pick up site 18 down here in Soledad the only sites I can pick up from the bay are Diablo and Loma.
At 20:08 this evening heard chatter on TG 4501 in the clear. I previously reported encrypted traffic on 4502 from site 20, Loma, from the shack in Fremont. Tonight there was a unit asking if anyone was on the channel. Another unit said you are on the wrong channel, you should be on "FEL TAC DIR which is not on the repeater, but direct and should be the next channel over". Now about once an hour I do hear EBRCS talk groups coming in on CRIS site 20. My best guess is that this is leakage from EBRCS and not CRIS traffic. But I cannot find TG 4501 or 4502 in their system nor any other Bay Area trunked system, so this may be a real user. Does anyone have any knowledge of this TG on any other system? FEL could stand for "felony" or "Felton" or something else.
Site 20: Did some running around today with two radios and it is looking like Loma Prieta, after all. I was able to rule out Monument, Sunol and Coyote Hills. I'm just surprised how strong the signal is in the house, lower floor with a telescopic antenna. They must be putting out some power! From the same location, I cannot decode SVRCS. I know their sites are relatively low level, but Loma is such a distance from my monitoring post here in Fremont.
FEL would have to be FELTON as that's the 3 unit designator for Felton...Strange that they're using DIR and whatnot. Interesting but strange...
