Lincoln - Trunked systems (Shaffer & Aero Radio)

[jj007]

Does anyone have information about the following two trunked systems in Lincoln? Has anyone had success in monitoring them?

AERONAUTICAL RADIO INC
806-821/851-866 MHz Trunked (Specific type = ??)

When I was in Lincoln last month, I put Shaffer in the scanner, I am pretty sure it was LTR. I will let you know by Saturday what they are for sure.

I agree, it looks like Shaffer is an LTR system. I had it programmed as LTR from the start, but there doesn't appear to be much activity. Also, sometimes a talk group will briefly flash but will not stop.

Anyone know about Aero Radio or what type of specific trunked system it is?

I listened to Shaffer's today and I didn't hear any data or LTR type items. It maybe I was there when the system wasn't busy. Sorry, I am not help.

Aero Radio

Aero radio seems to be a federal agency specifically to set up radio systems. They seem to be a govenment entity that sets up radio systems for many different critical locations.

They have also been constructing radio systems in Kearney and Norfolk recently

Very interesting web site

I looked at some ARINC systems in other states to find out what type of trunking they use. Looks like a combination of Motorola 800MHz Type 1 and Type 2, but many are switching over to iDEN.
