All of them but they switch every now and then

Sorry, but just for my own clarification, you mean all three? And when you say they switch, do you mean how many are operational at any one given time?
Did FT Bragg go with the big E

Fort Liberty has gone silent no voice traffic on any sites but showing strong signals, working on trying to see if any changes have taken place to system, I know they are changing some systems to phase 2 and even the frequencies. Anyone else having any info would be appreciated
Ft Liberty aka Ft Bragg is in the process of switching to the US Army CONUS Enterprise Land Mobile Radio Network, BEE00-98D. However, Site 1 on the old system is working just fine on my Unication G5.

there is a site 8 now eh? I guess it's up to me to verify site 4 still is operation then, will report back later.
If you do not hear it, in the previous programming change the system ID to 98D and try. And notice, there is no site 4, it was changed to site 5, but, the actual site numbers are 87,88,89,91,92,93,94 (site 90 wasn't listed).

I gotcha, I am just referring to the Gold Hill tower that on the 3CF system was NAC 3C4. If I don't catch anything running the search range I'll just drive by the tower later today.

Looks like trumpetman verified site 4 before I got around to it. Many thanks.
@GMB951 or @spacellamaman do you have any more information on the Ft Liberty move to the new system? Have all older Ft Liberty sites/WACN gone silent now? Are the new sites being used and still in the clear? What about TGs, have they all changed.

Sorry I have been slack, I will try to get some info to pass along here as soon as I can. For once I have actually been fairly busy alas....
Totally understand, my schedule is same way.

With a sub optimum setup, a quick check showed 386.400 NAC 984 and 386.2125 NAC 986, as control channels. 386.0375 is registering but won't lock-on, which is normal from around here. So signal strength/characteristics for sites 4, 6, and 7 appear to be the same as they have been in my area, just operating within a new system.
Manually running thru the 385-390 range for a couple of hours showed no activity. I imagine, with small exceptions, that will be the case, as it was under the old 3CF system, until there are rumblings of the next uprising of the Lovers of the Longleaf. That's when the western sites prove their usefulness.
Hopefully I'll have reprogrammed all my dadburn scanners by the time that occurs again, to track the system in the more fancy way, via trunking.
And since I am such a swell guy, I am going to go up to my fave high elevation, super secret eavesdropping location here in a few minutes, where in the past I have been able to pick up sites 2 and 4-7 cleanly and see what else I can sniff out. From the looks of it I doubt I will be of much assistance beyond just confirming what is so far already known and reported, but time we will see.
Oh and side note, 173.4875 reception with a new NAC of 272 today which is new to me (and the commonly used $444 as well), full time encryption as always, emanating out of KVUJ, ANG ops of some variety today. 306.900 was used by EPIC61 today as well, a long-time no-hear freq, which was the KVUJ App/Con freq when they were regularly running the radar setup. So those are still in rotation at least.
