Dominion Energy Trunking

[jake_Braker]

I've been looking for some random things to listen to recently and I decided to add in the Domion Energy DMR system into my SDS and the freqency that says is in use on Spencer Mnt. doesn't bring anything up. Anyone have any ideas on what the issue may be?

Per the license, try 153.0425. Both 153.0425 and 153.1025 are licensed for that site. I'm in Iredell and I know the Statesville frequency is correct

I just programmed it but it looks like neither are doing anything. I did get an RSSI hit on 153.1025 right after programming but nothing.
I have them both programmed as a conventional frequency as well to see if I get anything out of it

I'm not big with DMR, but this system is a capacity plus system so it will only spurt out a quick burst of signal on the "rest channel". The channel won't be active until someone talks on it. If someone else can explain it better that would be great but this is about as much as I know.

I believe we can both learn from this forum thread as well. I do appreciate your help!

Understanding Capacity Plus trunking

Hello In answer to indigo88's post the bit 2 in the CSBKO=62 PDUs refers to the channel in use. So the CSBKO=62 may be being sent on channel 1 but bit 2 tell the radios which channel the voice or data activity is taking place in channel 2. I'm finding the channel number from the CACH. In...

Correct. Cap+ will spit a Data Burst on the rest channel every 5 seconds or so to keep the radio in sync with the system. The channel(s) won't be active until a subscriber keys a talk group. You can however collect site information such as Site IDs, Neighboring Sites, ColorCode's, etc off the rest channel.

How do I figure out which one is the rest channel?

The rest channel is the frequency spitting the data burst out every 5 seconds or so.
