It's correct.

My OP25 is showing 800 MHz frequencies in use on the East System. This isn't in the database:

Question about Tampa PD. They frequently patch the 2 sector TGs together within a district. For example, they'll take Sector A and B TGs on District 1 and they'll patch 'em together. The dispatcher usually keys up and announces this to everyone as going "on combined". They do this quite frequently, even at times when it's busy.

So the question is, why do they do this so often? I think it's more than just dispatchers going on break cause it's so often. When someone keys up, all you see is the patch ID and it's hard to know what you're listening to.

Those frequencies are listed on the EDACS system. Not sure why those transmissions would be on those frequencies.

They combine for breaks and they're also perpetually short staffed.

Not uncommon when migrating systems. Clearwater did the same. Makes sense to take frequencies off the sunsetting EDACS system to increase P25 capacity.

Perhaps this is why my scanners have been more quiet as of late as well with the new frequencies on the system (and not being in the database yet)?

 

[Rbp1414]

Can someone submit to the DB the new frequencies above and any others they've identified?

I've tried running Unitrunker v2 to see if I can get ahold of the frequencies but unfortunately it does not filter out duplicate frequency listings and the data it spits out is mismatched on the LCNs (i.e. different LCNs for the same frequency on multiple rows).

I've also put in for DSD+ Fast Lane as well, waiting to get my email from them to download it so I can use it and FMP.

 

[Thomaspj2]

I'm listening to my SDS100 I have found unidentified talkgroups in use on the P25 system. Is there a way to find who it is?

 

[zlandmedia]

Here's my results from DSD+ Fast Lane. Looks like the 851 MHz frequencies are not registered as control channels.

Database submission change will be sent in momentarily.

 

[zlandmedia]

Database is updated. It'll probably take awhile for Sentinel to grab the changes, but everything else (ProScan, Unitrunker, etc) is up-to-date now.

Thanks @batdude!

Just wanted to say thanks for this. The east system is allot busier now than it was.

Trying to program my Harris M7300 with a HCSO HCFD and TPD codeplug.
Programmed west site since I'm in Pinellas county. I get CC scan and Band Scan but no joy. Anyone have a codeplug I can look at to see to compare?
TIA

 

[Fowler]

Oh and yes it's the P25 system I'm attempting to program....

 

[zlandmedia]

Just picked up a transmission for a working fire on TG 10553. I'm going to assume this is HCFR Tac 9?

Now that I think of it, you shouldn't have been missing transmissions if your receiver/scanner does control channel trunk following. I don't believe those 800 freqs were ever a control channel.

 

[railroader1994]

Are HCFR tac channels on the east site? Complete silence on these TG’s on my G5 on the west site.

 

[CanesFan95]

It can be either site. I'm hearing comm's on Tac 2 west site right now.

 

[railroader1994]

I love the G5 pager on this system but it’s not very user friendly when it comes to picking sites. Some TG’s with HSCO I have had to leave strictly on the east site vs. the west site. If anyone has any tricks for this I would be more than appreciative.
