I would venture to bet it's a simulcast and not really two "sites" - just two locations with the same freqs.

Doh! Someone found the other site...


skywatch - you might just hold on those data channels and see if you hear (or decode) anything at all...

You may not hear much after around 1800 local, due to the the only active ones will prob be MP and maybe a range control channel. If any of those TG's for MP's pop up your scanner will display them but you won't hear anything due to the encryption.

Or better yet - just a piece of R2D2 before your 996 mutes it...

What exactly is range control used for?

What exactly is range control used for?

So that ppl know who is shooting what and when.

[Stephen]

Range control personnel are on duty 24 hours a day, they know who is firing weapons doing training or involved in any kind of training in ranges or TA (Training Areas), they monitor weather rain and drought hazards and they know when to allow what kinds of weapons on what kinds of ranges depending on the conditions. They also know what kinds of weapons are firing at all time,

Nothing on there as of yet. I'm going to Lawton tomorrow and see if I can get some tg's to add to this system. Have you found any other frequencies?

 

[Stephen]

I posted alot of the regular voice frequencies but they never got added by the admin who adds the changes. I sent a couple more talk groups the other day to.

Found 3rd site

Today I drove up north of Wichita Falls with the 396 to see if I could hear anything.
I found a what appears to me to be site number 3 that is not in the DB.
I was getting a control channel on 380.4125 0023h-0303
It was a lot stronger down south here than the other two control channels.

I'll let somebody else confirm it and submit it, since I have never picked up a P25 system before and not 100% sure of what I found.

I confirmed your finding of Site 303 - good catch!

I'm pretty sure Site 202 is in Medicine Park. If I had to guess, I'd say Site 101 is near HQ - maybe site 303 is out West or something. There was not as much traffic on site 303 as on 101 or 202, so I doubt it's close to all the activity near the main part of the base.

 

[Stephen]

There are three sites, Medicine Park, Bald Ridge, and hill 471. Those are what the radio displays. Been told there is a range from Burkburnnet area and north to chickasaw area.

 

[KE5BDG]

Site 101 is probably called "Bald Ridge"
Site 202 is called "Medicine Park"
Site 303 is probably called "Hill 471" (near 34.6569°N 98.62868°W)
