It's live this morning. It appears they may be starting to use existing tower sites. I noticed the Baldwin site was not put on a new tower either, It was put on an existing tower with other antenna's on it (Cell, Microwave, etc...) Also recently I noticed the tower that was at the troop c station in Gray with 700 antennas is gone and now being used on another tower with Cell antennas on it (shared). I guess the state figured it is cheaper to go that route. If that is the case with the Gray tower that may explain why for the last several months I have a hard time receiving the Gray tower since it has moved, even though it has not moved very far, it has been harder to receive unless the weather permits. Maybe its not as high as the previous one. I used to pick it up 24/7




it might be on the cell tower right before the la 182/la 20 split...my opinion...or the one by max welders

I need some advice. I am not sure if I am having scanner issues or if the sites in question have had some changes. Up till about 8-10 months ago I was able to receive Jeanerette, Gray and Bayou Towers 24/7. Now I cannot receive them at all. Occasionally/rarely I can receive them depending on certain weather conditions. Most of the time when I hold the CC there may be one to two bars. However when I turn the squelch down to zero I can hear what appears to be some type of interference. There are times when I am locked on a CC there is no signal bars for a moment then suddenly its like someone is keying up and a bar or two displays. Bottom line its like there is another site or channel that is overriding these site Control Channels. Now here is the funniest part, I have programed all of each sites frequencies listed into conventional mode and scanned them and can hear traffic on everyone of them from those three site. Just cannot get the cc data. On a side note I can always receive Paincourville, Theriot and Vacherie 24/7 with no problem and yet they are much further away from me than the three I am having issues with. There a few others I can pick up even further most of the time. Any suggestions please help. Not sure why all three would do this at the same time. Maybe a setting in my programming

Please don't say its on an HP-1.... If so, this now adds to the growing list of issues these are now seeming to be having on P25 systems...

No reply regarding my issue not receiving CC on certain sites. Still confuses me as to why I can receive the actual channels/freqs in conventional mode and here traffic. By not receiving the CC and only getting interference and static I am not able monitor each site in trunk mode. Actually early this morning I was able to get the CC on each site till around 10 am, then lost them. I was able to listen to the conventional freqs for each site through out the day. Of course trying to listen to them that way you really can't tell who is who without id's. This whole deal is so strange.

Unlisted Sites

Both Hagewood and Many show connected with site 4-11 on 769.21875 (c)
Many also shows connection with 4-24 on 770.44375 (c)

Neither are listed in database and FCC search is fruitless with way LWIN is licensed.

No need in me trying area 4 sites from where I am unless LWIN is back to numbering out of normal areas again.

Maybe someone will find use for these where they are located so at least I have shared info.

Anyone have ideas???

Submit new sites and tg's through the submission buttons. Once they are in Que, I or other admins can add the data. TY

I understand the submission process but do not have enough info on those sites to make a usable submission. I put that post in so maybe someone else would be able to complete needed info.

Looks to me like Hornbeck and Leesville have been reassigned to zone controller 4 now. Fairly easy to deduce with just that information, as long as the info for those two sites are accurate in the DB.

(EDIT: I submitted the changes)

Would be great if somebody in Alexandria area would analyze the Rapides LWIN towers. Lots of changes going on there, unfortunately, lots of encryption too.
