Radio Reference lists the following frequencies for the City of Ames TRS:


852.33750 853.28750 853.73250 854.73750 855.63750 856.01250 856.56250 857.01250 857.56250
858.01250 858.56250 859.01250 859.56250 860.01250 860.56250






However, I looked under the license and found the following:

852.3375
853.2875
853.7325
854.7375
855.6375
856.0125

860.0125
860.5625
854.0375
855.1625

Which set is correct? I want to say the latter is? Any comment/correction?.

Tim, If you are close to Ames and can hear the control channel from the list of freqs.,just put it in and see what voice channel is being used and take note. If its a busy TRS it should not take long.If you find the CC, post it here so i can pre-program my scanner.

I'm sure the control channel changes daily. I just scan all the frequencies for the system. To me, the system doesn't have much PS traffic. I do not monitor water, garbabge, ect departments. Just Fire/EMS/PD stuff.

Tim,

It's very possible that both lists are correct. The RRDB shows 15 frequencies, and the license data shows 18. Maybe the missing 3 are replacements for the three expired licenses shown here: http://radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&ctid=869, or maybe they are just being held for possible future use.

Just because Ames has a TRS doesn't mean that all licensed 800Mhz frequencies will be used for trunking. :D
