I will have every site identified in detail by the end of the weekend, and updates submitted by then to the database. :)

In addition to what is posted on the SDS100 screen, the database admins are looking for the additional information like what Unitrunker and Pro96Com detail. Once I have everything verified, I will make one big submission so the admins can do it all at once.

There is an RF site in Odessa licensed as WRMS976 Location 5 that is not included in the RRDB entry for the system. The frequencies for the site don't appear for any other list site, except one in Snow Hill. Not sure where it will fit in in the site plan, and AFAIK is not on the air.

Yes, I meant to post that previously. Upon my return back home to New Jersey this evening, I went past the Odessa site, and no licensed frequencies were being broadcasted from that area at all. While Site 40 (New Castle Simulcast) does have coverage in that area, it's not as full powered as I would hope for it to be. That is the only licensed site that remains a mystery for now. I suspect that if it does go on the air, perhaps it might be incorporated into the NCC Simulcast?

If Odessa was to become part of the NCC Simulcast, they would need to re-coordinate the NCC frequencies at the Odessa site. Odessa already has an approved frequency plan, so I would guess that it would be more likely deployed as another multicast site.

ENC is slowly starting to come across the ACE TGs,multiple trucks were complaining their radios weren’t working and to reset them. Motorola “upgrade” was completed per dispatch.

Testing heard today on TGs 3001 and 3033,3037 is a new one. No encryption noted on ACE since my last post just some truck radios were encrypted after the upgrade. All PECO TGs are now denied over ACE.

Looks like this newly added 1.20 Site is a Simulcast covering Baltimore/Carroll/Harford Counties.
Went for a drive last night hitting some of the usual high spots around the south end of Lancaster County PA, but got no signal on it, was hoping for at least a NAC SYS/SITE ID.
This site does not appear as a neighbor to 1.48 Craigtown.
there are possibly more but these stood out in a quick search.

I’m starting to think maybe site 20 is a Simulcast Cell, not just Harford.

I was on a mission with a friend earlier today, and can confirm that Site 20 is a simulcast cell covering Harford and Baltimore MD counties (for now). I made a submission to the database to reflect the change. It seems to cover the area that Baltimore Electric & Gas (BGE) covers. I've asked the Database Admin. if the system name can be renamed "Exelon Energy P25" since that's what the system covers now (PECO/ACE/Delmarva Power/BGE).

Also, I was not able to swing by the Odessa, DE area, but it seems that Site 60 is now on the air, and the signal was strong coming over the Delaware Memorial Bridge and south into the Bear, DE area. Signal seemed to fade in the northern NCC DE area, and into the Northeast (region, not town) MD area. Can someone check the Odessa DE area for 861.6125 and grab the NAC. I didn't have a chance to due to other commitments at the time I was traveling through the area. I did make a submission to the database with the info above, so it should be there when the admins get to it.

The NAC is 1C0H and I’m getting a good signal down in the Smyrna area.

I recently traveled most of the State of Delaware and was in Salisbury, MD area for business. I had a chance to run Unitrunker and all of the talkgroups in both MD and DE were secure/encrypted. This also applies to the ones for the Atlantic City Electric simulcast in NJ as well. I guess this system is pretty much unmonitorable now after the upgrade was completed from a few months ago.
