Does anyone know if there are any active DMR repeaters in New Mexico?

I've been scouring the bands looking for any telltale sign, but so far haven't found anything that is verifiably DMR.

Has anyone else had any luck?

Derp. Well apparently knowing how to search helps.
According to this site there are four DMR repeaters in NM, but I can't hear any of them from here. Oh well...

While I'm talking to myself here, I also found a pretty neat search...

Digital Frequency Search

Enter the County name and the State name and it should spit out P25, NXDN and DMR systems in the area.
You can always use their 'quick import' tool to export the data for easy import into things like Uniden Sentinel.
That said, the only DMR to listen to around here is PNM, a school and another power company...

Not sure where in NM you are, but in the ABQ area I can hear the RMHam UHF repeater on my Tytera HT.

Is that this guy?

Albuquerque, NM Sandia Crest RMHAM – KA8JMW 447.900 MHz 442.900 MHz
7 Operational Operational

I'm about 100 miles north up in Los Alamos and all I've been able to hear so far was "Vulcan Inc" on 461.700. Someone told me it's a construction company of some kind. I also found the NXDN system that PNM uses.

It's a shame a lot of this info hasn't made its way into the RR database yet...

FYI, the database gets info from submissions. It takes all of us to make it great!

abqscan, I'm always wary of submitting 'less than complete' information, but I'm on the case and will be submitting what I've found so far. Does this create a new 'node' that others can correct over time?

If you confirm anything from my website, I'd really appreciate you letting me know the details: Justin@DigitalFrequencySearch.com.

Also, I really enjoy hearing how people use the website and scanning successes.

Even when these do start hitting the RR database, be careful about programming too restrictive of entries. I would still search all talkgroups, both time slots, all color codes, etc.

We have to start somewhere. It is pretty hard for us to have all of the info and if we can at least give others a place to start, more will be able to help put the puzzle together.

Hey Justin,
Great work on the site! I'm digging the Quick Import feature.

Where did you get all of this info? FCC filings or user reports?
If the latter, have you considered adding it all to RR?

I've personally verified at least two systems in use around Los Alamos/Santa Fe, but a couple of them are going to be pretty tough to pin down. (school's emergency stuff, etc).

Right now it is from the FCC, but I have collected quite a bit of user reports as well, which will be posted at some point on a separate website.

I infrequently contribute to RR these days. I have a strong moral disagreement with holding volunteer data hostage. There's some irony that when it comes to legal protection, the streaming is a "platform" for individual providers, yet when it comes to profiting from the database, the user provided data is "owned" by Radio Reference. As long as scanner software has export restrictions due to Radio Reference, I will not contribute, since contributing further empowers information to be withheld and scanner marketers to be manipulated. Note that these restrictions prevent users from exporting even their own data from their own scanners. So I can't export my own data then copy and paste it to the RR submission. If RR doesn't want me to export my scanning data, then why would I export to the website?

Perhaps the database too should be a platform for advancing scanning rather than a barrier to spreading scanning information.
To my knowledge, RR isn't paying people to discover frequencies, paying the administrators, or paying for public information requests, etc. They certainly aren't doing anything to protect the openness of the radio traffic either.

Reminds me a bit of the cddb debacle from years ago. When someone would rip a CD, they'd enter the song titles and whatnot in, and when another user ripped the same CD later (based on a unique CD ID) it would offer up all the track names, saving the user the trouble of manual text entry. I had personally submitted something like 300 albums worth of info over the years. Pretty labor intensive stuff...and it went from a 100% community built, open and free database to a Sony a owned 'property' that they didn't seem intent on actually running...
