Hey all.
Tonight, I stumbled onto a few EDACS control channels. I have never heard any of those before because there aren't any around here. But I'm using a nice yagi on a rotator now, and the propagation was excellent.
I'm wondering about Unitrunker's way of displaying an EDACS control channel and system information.
Here's that the top line reads:
I never saw any activity because I think these are private systems and I found them late at night.
My questions are, since there's no unique system ID, how do I figure out what the system is? On the Unitrunker screen shown above, what does the '8' mean? How about '0 unnamed'?
Finally -- and this last question may best be answered by the EDACS people in another forum -- how would one go about 'mapping' out the system's frequencies? Does it involve FCC license searching and the like, as with LTR systems?
Thanks for any info!
