All have moved over. I will go see if that is something I need to submit. Gomez is now in wide area trunking. Thanks!

Any update on Gomez Peak being connected back to GATRRS?

Gomez affiliated 10/24. Microwave had to be reset for Big Spring. Should be on for all of those thousands of Howard County users that were unable to communicate. But at least we can all hear Val Verde and Maverick SO off of Site 90.

I live in Culberson County, about 47 miles away from Gomez peak. I have a BCD 996P2 scanner. My antenna is a mounted about 35 feet in the air. I have no trouble picking up the Reeves County SO conventional frequencies. I understand that they have a repeater in the Gomez peak area. I currently scan conventional systems. I would like to start monitoring GATTRS, but I am unsure if I would hear anything on the sites closest to me. I am soliciting suggestions as to which sites and talk groups I might listen to. Thank you.

The link to Big Spring is down, and the link to Andrews has degraded. Guessing those high winds have reoriented some link antennas. I believe the sites have been posted on RR. Prolly under GATRRS. Still no movement on the Odessa 700 and Orla sites.

Any update on the 700 Odessa site or Orla?

Idk of orla. Too far for me. I have not decoded any site in midland/Odessa in a while since was not catching much in talkgroups of interest. Some day I may decode and see what control channels show for sister sites if pops up.

Went ahead and turned on scanner to decode. Hitting Gardendale, Midland 800 and Odessa 800, no other site link shows. Best guess in no Odessa 700 site is up or linked.

Anybody run PRO96Com or UniTrunker in the area? That should show any new sites and the control channel frequencies.

Odessa 700 installed, but dark, awaiting bandwidth upgrade. And a tower mounted preamp. Sources say mid-March 2020.
