Indianapolis Motor Speedway - 2022

[cubn]

I saw the license was updated to add 3 new repeaters and added DMR to the existing repeaters:

ULS Application - Industrial/Business Pool, Conventional - 0009991093 - Indianapolis Motor Speedway, LLC

I listened to all those today during the Indycar practice session but heard nothing (listening from Greenwood where I can normally hear the track freqs).

Anyone else hearing the track and can provide the freqs, tones, CC's, TG's, etc now in use?

I'll be back home in Speedway in a couple weeks. I'll see what I can hear.

Thanks and FYI there's practice again tomorrow so I'll listen again.

I will put in the new DMR stuff and see if I get anything over as things start happening out there more often now... I am fully expecting whichever they run for IMS Safety will be E though from scuttlebutt. (And yeah from what I hear ERS-OCI has that nice little contract for upgrades too.. Seems like they are pretty much the ONLY DMR game in Indy.)

Bummer as that was the best channel to monitor

I was up a Southport Rd today and could hear DMR Cap+ on 451.400, 452.3375, and 452.625. I think it's from the Speedway but just like the Perry Meridian and Airport DMR Cap+ systems, my Anytone 868 would not decode the CC, TG, SL info. Don't know why.

For the 2022 Indy Car officials (which are encrypted):

Ok so confirmation from the radio provider. The 468 freq will stay analog. That way fans and other drivers/teams etc can hear it easier. Other comms nada. Indy series claims they will do something in future to update fans about the current scanner situations.

Looks like I'll be able to go to the track today. Will bring my radios and post my findings here

 

[INDY72]

I put all the freqs on as a cap + trs and noted the data pulses on what should be the rest ch. No traffic noted so couldnt log any lcns last night.

Racing Electronics pulled out of Indycar, I heard the track went with racing communications in Georgia but have not confirmed it. Our deputy fire chief is on the safety team but he didn't know anything last time we talked.
When I walked into Charlie Thompson's office in 1986 to introduce myself he had VHF marine radios sitting on his desk. They've come a long way since I left in 96.

Running LCN finder, have found 1 so far on the listed 4 freqs. Will let it keep running today and see how many I can nail down.

 

[INDaviation]

Briefly heard TG 93 this afternoon. It was in the clear.
Got LCN 2 for 451.725 and LCN 5 for 452.625.

 

[INDaviation]

Sounds like maintenance on TG 118. Logged RIDs 10, 11, 41, and 15003. Logged RID of 2065 on TG 93.

 

[INDaviation]

Another new TG, 116. Sounds like golf course maintenance. Hearing talk of mowers, leaves, and golfers. RIDs in 30XX range.

 

[INDaviation]

452.3375 is LCN 4

 

[INDaviation]

Just logged LCN 3 for 452.050. That should do it for the LCNs unless they add more frequencies or there are frequencies not in the database. All have been submitted.

 

[INDY72]

There IS at least one more freq as it would be LCN 1. We have LCN's 2 thru 5 but ONLY 4 freqs. On a Capacity Plus they start at 1. There are 11 freqs on the License, some of which have been logged as the original conventional analogs. Not to mention they lic'ed this set up wrong with FCC. Its an Conventional Business Pool lic but this is an CAP+ in use. Typical it seems with business stuff.

 

[cubn]

Today I saw TG 111 in use.

This weekend will be a great opportunity to listen as there's Indy Grand Prix testing Friday and race day Saturday.

 

[INDaviation]

Saw talkgroups 88 and 117 today. Unknown usage. Will keep monitoring through the week and weekend

 

[cubn]

Talkgroups:

• 80 Gates or Museum?
• 82
• 88
• 89 placard mentioned- parking or access control?
• 91
• 93
• 114
• 116
• 118 tee box mentioned - golf course?

Other freqs?
Yesterday I logged on 451.400 and 452.400 for a couple hrs on each but heard nothing

 

[INDaviation]

Heard mention of a shuttle on 93 earlier. I have a hundred or so recordings of multiple talkgroups from today to sort through. I will post findings here.
