Hello all. I've seen some of the posts' on here regarding GWL Perryville. Has anyone been able to confirm any channels? Any updates on anything regarding this locations' radio use?

It's a tier 3 trunked DMR single site system. I was able to somewhat monitor it with a Anytone 878 last year. WRVM676 for the callsign
When I was monitoring it was fairly busy. Alot of traffic from security and housekeeping. It has been a while but if I recall correctly TG20 is security and TG's 30-40-50 are housekeeping/ general site operations. It isn't perfect but given you have a Chinese DMR radio. Load all the channels into the radio (be aware the radio will hang on the control freqs (462.350/464.475). enable Open monitor or "Promiscuous Mode" and as you discover talk groups, load them into a RX group list. But of course, if you have a DMR tier 3 capable scanner it should follow the system well.
Since this was confusing for me, the context I was missing is that you get both audio and those data bursts on Capacity Plus channels.
Seemed pretty easy to tune in with OpenGD77. For ease in programming for something like this, the color code is 5, and if you’re using OpenGD77, you just program the two Capacity Plus channels, and turn off talkgroup and timeslot filtering. You can just scan between the two channels by holding “up”.
My Unication G5 with the DMR add-on worked fine for it too. You add the two frequencies as conventional frequencies, make sure you have DMR set up for both timeslots in protocols, and a talkgroup with anything in it for DMR. Then you set up a zone that has both both frequencies and timeslots in monitor mode, then set it up to scan those other knobs. You don’t get talkgroups displayed on the Unication, but it otherwise works fine.
It looks like there are talkgroups 10/20/30/50/80/255 that I was able to observe. I think 10 is security, 20 is housekeeping, 30 is guest services, 80
is maintenance, 255 is radio all-call. I think 50 is related to the water park and 60 is related to the stuff outside the water park like minigolf.
I didn’t bother to monitor all the mobile-only stations that don’t go through the repeater.

I need to load up that open GD firmware in the GD77 I currently have. Last GD I had did have the firmware in it and it was a very effective/ smoothly operating radio.
And as I remeber I do also believe 10 is security and 20 is housekeeping. The rest of the TG's I didnt "study" all that much to say the least.
