Inactive Trunked Systems in Sacramento Database

[mkewman]

There are several Trunked systems in the database for Sacramento that I haven't been able to receive. I'm wondering two things

1- Has anyone else (especially with a good antenna setup) been able to receive them?

2- (which could probably be answered by a database admin) At what point do we remove these systems from the database? When the Licenses expire or when they are no longer active?

Here are the systems I've attempted to receive to no avail:

Nextel (1D21)
Nextel (6F0C)
Commercial SMR A531
Unidentified system 6B1F

(all motorola)

I haven't tried any of the LTR systems yet, but I will attempt to do that this week.

Have you seen these systems?

That makes sense about the Nextel systems, because Nextel ditched their 800 MHz SMR systems long ago. Please make a submission for each system requesting it be depreciated, and we'll make the changes.

these are 900mhz systems however.

I'd like to try and see if I hear anything first before you remove them if that's ok

From past listening experience those old 900 Moto commercial systems always had terrible coverage. So unless you're near where one is the propagation's gonna be terrible.

There was (is?) one on Mt Diablo South Peak and its coverage is either directed somewhere I never was or is just plain terrible. Who puts a 900 system on Mt Diablo with its elevation and the surrounding terrain anyway?

well I was up that way yesterday and I didn't hear any activity.

None of those are on Diablo. That 900 system I mentioned (313A) is the only Moto trunked system up at Diablo. If you band scanned 900 and didn't hear it then it's probably off the air or gone.

Reminds me of the old Mare Island UHF Moto system that was over at the old Navy site. Thing got left for dead. It was in failsoft for the longest time.

That's sounds like the saddest thing ever. It literally died a slow painful death.

I never said they were.

I was up in sac and didn't hear anything.
