So I recently plugged all the common use/itinerant frequencies back in to my scanner (I've been reading in the forums that hoodlums are using these to conduct "organized" crime).
Lately, nothin' but the usual business chatter (forklifts lift this, employee fold that) until last week.
I found some interesting traffic on a Common/Business Frequency. I have 936.6625MHz as a common frequency in my records- yet our db shows it as a frequency used for the LCRA system on a tower in Creedmoor, T. Co., also.
I was expecting to hear normal citizen chatter, but have heard fire tones, 28 checks and the like (further confirming it's being used by a PS agency) all in analog.
So my question is, since this is a common use freq. is it common that systems like this (LCRA specifically, but maybe other trunked systems) use these common frequencies?
Secondly, is there anyone closer to S. Austin that can confirm which agency is using this? Is it being simulcast from other T. Co. frequencies? I'm hearing traffic from the Stassney Ln. and MoPac indicating that it's coming from inside Austin proper (maybe a small suburb that uses the LCRA system?).
