Sentinel only lists 4 CCs/ACCs. Whereas, This page: Greensboro / Guilford County Trunking System, Greensboro, North Carolina ; lists 22 CCs/ACCs


Actually the page at the link you posted shows 22 freqs total on Guildford, with 4 being control channel capable. And 10 on Thomasville with 4 being cc capable. Also, acc (alternate control channel) have been done away with and all control capable freqs are marked as such with just a red c.

And Sentinel, is bringing in all freqs without any distinction as to what's cc and whats voice.

1) Sentinel matches up with the RR database with 4 CCs listed.
2) How in God's name did you get Greensboro so wrong in the thread title? "Greensborough"?

Sentinal is RR database.
Not necessarily. Some things are excluded; there was a frequency mentioned in the last few weeks that was missing in Sentinel. I forget why that occurs, but they aren’t identical.

Anything not considered "scannable" is omitted from Sentinel. Any trunked system without any submitted tg's is considered not scannable and won't show in Sentinel. And that's another reason why @ProScan is top notch. It will allow those systems to be imported so some of the less skilled users could make more submissions to our database.

I wasn't aware of ACCs' being done away with. That is a relief.
How did you come up with 22 CCs? I counted 4 on Guilford Simulcast & 4 on Thomasville ASR which equates to 8 systemwide. :unsure:
I said 22 CCs/ACCs. I admit, I didn't include Thomasville ASR in that count. I was just assking about the Guilford part of the system.
Sentinal is RR database.
That is what I thought.

2) How in God's name did you get Greensboro so wrong in the thread title? "Greensborough"?
1)Ok
2)Whatever
They are counting all freqs on Guilford, not just CCs.
Correct, just not the Thomasville side on that page.

That is esentially the main reason for my question.

That is why I got Proscan. Instead of any other softtware.
