Finding Capacity Plus frequencies

[canradscan]

I'm having a hard time finding the control channel freq's for a local hospital. Its a Capacity Plus system and I get one channel fine, but I cant see the other one. RR database is no help, the freq's must've changed, cause they don't work. Is there a way to find freq's from one active channel?

You didn't tell us any information concerning the system, hospital, frequencies or anything to help you with.

I mean how do you find all the Cap Plus freqs? In general, if you saw a freq with a heartbeat and it said Cap Plus rest channel 3? How do you find the other freq's?

SDR dongle or a scanner in search mode.

First I usually pull the license data up from the FCC. Usually they are all listed on one license. I have seen some though that are spread over several licenses.

We have a similar database here in Canada. With him being a Newbie Member either I or a Super Moderator have to approve his posts. There may be a delay for his response.

That's what I wanted to know. There's no magic program to tell you all the Cap Plus freq's associated with a specific system. I've been doing exactly what @Forts and @wx5uif said. I'll keep looking. Thank you.

If the OP doesn't want to disclose which hospital they can search the known frequency or license on their own to determine the missing frequency(ies). maprad.io comes in handy for Canada & USA license searches. It also has a nice GPS proximity search so you can narrow it down to X-amount of km from the coordinates you enter

By looking up the frequency you do have and seeing if there are any other frequencies associated with that one you have. You can use Search Canada's TAFL as a good site to tell you this. If you'd like more info or help with this, you need to give us more info to go on to help you. Otherwise, like the rest of us, search for the associated frequencies in the websites mentioned in this thread.

There kinda is.

With knowing how to find and read all freqs associated with an entity, and using DSDPlus (an sdr program), one can usually get everything needed to set up Cap+ trunking.

Thank you. I do just that except I ditched DSDPlus Fast Lane for DSD-FME. Both programs are excellent, but FME does Capacity Plus trunking. I regret very much mentioning hospitals and wrong freq's. I apologise for the confusion and misdirection it was unintentional. I only wanted to know if there was a better way, thats all. Thanks to all who replied!

DSDPlus does Capacity Plus trunking as well.

Only way is to gather all freq's and sit on each one until it spits out which CAP+ repeater and channel number it is or try the LCN Finder in a Uniden scanner.

True, but it doesn't decrypt. between FME and op25, I can hear everything.

I never thought of that. Thank you!

Most often the freq are stepped in 250 kHz (EG: 450.000, 450.250, 450.500) or 100 kHz.
This is not a hard and fast rule though, but it's a good starting place.
