That's what I was thinking. Parker has a 700MHz site on their P25 system, but on my trips out west, every two or three weeks, I only see activity from the Vhf sites. Don't recall ever getting a hit on the 700MHz site in Weatherford.I saw that when they filed the application a last month. That doesn't make any sense. The two frequencies aren't even interoperability channels and I don't think anything else in that area is on 700 or 800 MHz.
Their existing system seems to work as is, and Hood is a small size county both in area & population. As I noted above, why would they license for P25 Phase II if not using a trunked system.Got some family in Hood County so I am up there a few times a year. After narrowing everything down maybe the HCSO is going to use the two frequencies as stand alone 700 mnz P25 repeaters in place of their primary VHF use for dispatch? It seems far fetched but with dual band and all band radios all over the market could be a possibility if they can't afford to get their own little trunked system.
Have you heard anything on the two 700 MHz frequencies?Maybe the new frequencies are for Granbury PD, which is dispatched out of the Hood County dispatch center. I have not heard a single PD communication in the last 3 days. I have also not seen or heard any updates about their system.
Have you heard anything on the two 700 MHz frequencies?
Have you searched for P25 control channels between 769-775 MHz?
If NCTCOG installed a trunked site they could be using other 700 MHz frequencies under the state license.
Are you listening to them with PL decode with the tone shown in the database? If so you could be missing if they went digital. Their license shows emission designators for DMR and P25. https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?fccCallsign=WNUD349
Unless something changes, I'll be out that way this weekend, and will have the frequencies entered to see if there is any activity. As these were recently licensed, it's possible they are not yet active.Have you heard anything on the two 700 MHz frequencies?

I have heard nothing on the 700 MHz Freq's.
GPD apparently went digital on their original frequency over the weekend. I changed from analog to digital and put in NAC 7F3, which corresponds to their old PL tone, and now I get garbled noise when they transmit. Obviously, I'm not getting something right, but I'm getting close. I don't have the ability to decode with what I have so I'll have to wait for someone else to narrow down what's going on with this system.
Thanks for the heads up and the hints.
