[hkrharry]

KC Tracker what are the numbers 1.6, 2.6, 3.8?

Are these site numbers or what?

Is there any Time slot or Color Code info?

Can you share any TRX screenshot of your programing info, I am not real familiar with my TRX and DMR just yet.

Perhaps you could share your programming file, If so PM me for an email address.

Didnt have to worry about time slot or color codes use the ez scan software that came with the trx-1 set it up in trunk system as evergy and enter the data from the screen shots

I'm not sure if I am really DMR or just scanning the channels. Tracked the system using DSD+ and two RTL Dongles

Let me know I may have them on the wrong site...........

 

[KC_zero_DSU]

I hadn't found this thread yet, glad I did though. I've been hoping to figure these KCPL sites out more completely. Any updates anybody?
This is what I have on one of the sites I pick up down where I am at about 60 miles south of KC. The KCPL/Evergy power plant is just 4 miles to the east of me. But in the plant they use 900mhz band freqs and also some up in the gigahertz bands.

DsdPlus.Sites
TIII, 1, 2.8, "KCPL-2.8"

DsdPlus.Frequencies
TIII, 1, 2.8, 45, 152.06875, 0.0, 0 ; DCC = 0 CC
TIII, 1, 2.8, 46, 152.06875, 0.0, 0 ; DCC = 0
TIII, 1, 2.8, 11, 152.02500, 0.0, 0 ; DCC = 0
TIII, 1, 2.8, 12, 152.02500, 0.0, 0 ; DCC = 0
TIII, 1, 2.8, 59, 152.75750, 0.0, 0 ; DCC = 0
TIII, 1, 2.8, 60, 152.75750, 0.0, 0 ; DCC = 0

The rest of the freqs I don't have the channel numbers for but the freqs are
152.21750
152.56250
152.65500

From what I understand you only need one channel # for each freq and DsdPlus will do it's thing.

The other sites I pick up and have in the .sites file are below, but I have nothing else on them yet. Yesterday would of been a prime day to listen and figure stuff out with the storm that rolled thru and lines down and power outages. But I was too busy cleaning up the aftermath and trying to fix/replace my antennas and other stuff that got tore up. I was rocking two generators. A 3500w inverter generator for all the radio gear and electronics stuff and a 7500w for the rest of the house.

TIII, 1, 1.2, "KCPL-1.2" (it's on 152.20625 ??? I think, that's what I pick it up on anyways)
TIII, 1, 3.3, "KCPL-3.3" (it's on 152.1750)

 

[bctrainers]

Been having DSD+ monitor 152.06875. Heard a smidge of audio, but it's been fairly quiet, unlike KC MARRS system.

SDR# seems to have a severe tuning bug right now, so the MHZ values aren't updating like they should - not sure what's going on there.

Also, here in JoCo, I am seeing another DMR system just a few above 152.06875, with a weaker received signal. It's very quiet after 15 minutes of listening to it.

 

[N0JRD]

Do they have a site in Topeka? I haven't been able to find them anywhere in Topeka on vhf or uhf?

 

[hkrharry]

They are probably still on 900 Mhz over that way.

 

[N0JRD]

I haven't heard anything on the 900 mhz in months. I can still here the control channel but nothing on the system.

 

[kctracker1]

KCP&l and Westar Energy have both migrated to the DMR system wide under Evergy. I dont have any info on other metro locations served by Evergy. I did alot of digging thru the FCC site to find most of the freqs so far, but the fcc database is a disaster......

 

[N0JRD]

Do you have a list of the freqs? All I can find are the old 900 and some uhf ones that are only mobile licenses.

I dont have any other than listed above at this time, let me do some digging and see what i can come up with for Topeka and Lawrence

 

[kctracker1]

The following freqs are listed for Evergy Topeka in the new system cant tell you the order but plug them in and listen:
152.0150-152.0450
152.0450-152.0750
152.5250-152.5550
152.5550-152.5850
152.6150-152.6450
152.7050-152.7350
152.7350-152.7650
152.7950-152.8250
If you can set up dsd+ and monitor to get site # and channels.

Best I can do right now let me know what you find!

Did anyone capture the color codes?
I'm getting a DMR marker on 152.3075 that could be the Miami, MO site of Evergy with cc of 12
thanks

[626hawkeye]

Well that's helps a bit now if i could find it for Pettis county, MO

So far all of the KCPL sites have always been CC 0, but it was just licensed to Evergy so they could of changed things up. Is it DMRT3?

 

[KCoax]

Has anyone figured out some of what seems to be zone sub-talkgroups e.g. 6201 - 6207? It sounds as if it is a large work scale ticket calls or an event channel for that zone. All the zones seem to have them.
