Lawrence County Gone Bye-Bye

[zzdiesel]

This is a only public notice thread. I just noticed that Lawrence County upgraded to digital & went MOTORBO.

That's not "Bye-Bye" - just means you need to use a PC with DSD.

Well, so far it's been bye bye for me. I got a Pro-433 with a discriminator tap that I couldn't figure heads or tails with. Can someone tell me if the BCD-996XT has a built-in tap that will work with DSD?

The PC with DSD is complicated for most. I wish that we had a scanner available that would decode MOTRBO but sadly we do not.

And according to the Wiki, It does have Control Channel Data Output.

It's not "built-in" as in ready for connecting. You have to tap it.

are you sure they've completely changed ZZ? I heard them a couple days ago. I knew they were eventually going to. But I think it was to nexedge and not turbo according to the FCC License.

I just heard the dreaded digital noise the day I posted this.

I have been hearing the digital buzz on 156.210 for at least a year, sometimes right over the top of the analog repeater. I usually have to lock them out of the scan list when I'm in the truck.

Based on some DFing I've done, the source of what I have heard is not in Lawrence Co, but seems to be coming from somewhere around Horseshoe Bend.

Not saying they aren't switching, but this has been going on a while, and I heard the analog repeater just a day or two ago.

It could also be Baxter County SO. They have the same frequency and use trbo.
