These are the centers for the frequency blocks. They also have some 220 MHz blocks but I'm not sure what they are using them for so I didn't include them in my map, for now.

I'm attempting to search these licenses and im not getting them in the DB.

Use the FCC Search directly at the FCC

FRN: 0001792803
Radio Service: PC (Public Coast Stations, Auctioned)

These types of licenses will not show in the RRDB. You must search the FCC directly


And these usually will not show specific frequencies but frequency ranges, and they typically will be licensed for an extended area.

Example of two that cover 161.8125:


When you click on each of those licenses, note the Market / Submarket and ranges licensed. Then clcik on the map to get an idea where they might be in use.

And each block is 0.0125 MHz wide (in this frequency band) so doing a little math allows you to find the center of each block and it has been my experience (100% of the time so far) that they use the frequency in the center of each block.

Online and broadcasting, submitted for an update. Also, Renaker (Harrison County) is broadcasting SCADA currently. I will be driving down to the southern part of the state tomorrow to check for more sites that are online.

Also, My Uniden is reading out Network ID: 9 but DSD is spitting out 10. I did note at one point DSD tried to switch to Network ID: 9 but refused. Not sure why this is occurring.

When you are locked on a strong site with DSDPlus, grab a screenshot and attach it (attach it, so it can be expanded without blowing up the page size, which might happen if you embed it).

I am interested in what it reports for the type of system (down at the bottom left of the Event Log window). It might take a minute parked on a good control channel for it to show.

Couldn't tell what site or county this is coming from since both licenses are very close in proximity, any help with this site is much appreciated.

I'd like to be able to upload pics here period.

Everytime I try to do so it says my files are too large for the server, doesn't matter if they are pics from my iPhone or pics from my Nickon D-3100 DSLR.

So what's the secret?

That makes sense. Anything from a camera will likely be in RAW format. You need to save-as or convert-to a JPG, GIF or PNG. Then upload that. A RAW photo will likely end up being a couple MB in size, too big for inclusion in the forum.

I'm sure there are easier ways to do this (such as simply saving the images in a different format), but you could open a large image in MS Paint or whatever your paint program is in your OS, and then just resave it as a PNG, GIF or JPG. If you do that, try to pick a method that preserves good resolution. You only need to have a 1280x-1024 or 1024x768 image of good quality, and a RAW image will a few million x few million in size, which is why RAW is so much larger.
