LDS System 3D38

[kd7rto]

Okay good, those frequencies match the license. I was a little confused on "c" vs. "d" -- which are the control channels?

c = cw id
v = voice
d = control data

Next question: are the LDS TGs listed for the system valid, or should they be deleted?

They do not appear to be. All I've ever heard live is phone interconnect, but Trunker seems to have detected some groups (though not the ones in the database listing). The 6th column is a hit counter in hex:

;VER=3
;ID_hex,COLOR_dec,PRIO_dec,TITLE_str,LASTNOTED_hex,HITS_hex,USAGE_hex,ID_dec,ID_str,LASTNOTED_mm/dd/yyyy,LASTNOTED_hh:mm

On Questar's 1a1a system, on the other hand, I have found quite a few dispatch groups, both type I and type II. I believe them to be customers that they acquired when they took over 1a1a from it's previous owner, John Lockwood.

Questar ideas info and suggestions

On these Questar frequencies you need to have i-call on because when they are only talking to each other the scanner sees it as an i-call, they also use mobile phones as well through i-call. However, when they talk to the main office in salt lake which i have labeled blue stakes they use the normal talkgroups, I have heard 49200, 49232, and 49264 but they mosly use 49200. The rest of the talking is done car to car is the phone i-call type of id's.

Example using Price area

Non-trunked:
855.6375 blue stakes

Trunked:
856.6625 id and phone i-calls only. one side of the conversation is usually heard. (if the are talking to each other u can get both sides by flipping back and forth. these channels are annoying usually so i lock them out.

857.6625 i-calls only. one side of the conversation is usually heard. (if the are talking to each other u can get both sides by flipping back and forth. these channels are annoying usually so i lock them out.

858.6625 i-calls only. one side of the conversation is usually heard. (if the are talking to each other u can get both sides by flipping back and forth. these channels are annoying usually so i lock them out.

859.6625 data channel and car to car. Alternates each day around midnight. blue stakes can be heard here. Remember i-call has to be on to hear these on trunking or you will only hear when blue stakes or 49200 talks.

860.6625 data channel and car to car. Alternates each day around midnight. blue stakes can be heard here. Remember i-call has to be on to hear these on trunking or you will only hear when blue stakes or 49200 talks.


Im not sure but im guessing the other Questar frequencies around the state are close to this. the 49200, 49232, and 49264 are statewide talkgroups.

Questar

Are the Questar sites across Utah linked and sharing the same talkgroups (like UCAN does)? If so they should be combined into a single statewide system with multiple sites.

I dont know if they are linked i just know that Manti had the same 49200 TG that Price did. and if everyone else gets that then i guess they talk to Salt lake on the same TG. But you can only hear when like here only Price contacts SL on 49200 not any other city. So i dont know how we could enter it.
