Lower Colorado River Authority article is outdated

[ka3jjz]

Cleaning up a little of the mess in the wiki for the LCRA, I found the following...

Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) - The RadioReference Wiki

wiki.radioreference.com

which points to a deprecated system, viz.

Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) EDACS Trunking System, Various, Texas

Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) EDACS Trunking System Profile

www.radioreference.com

Evidently the database has 2 LCRA entries - one for a P25 Phase II system (monitorable) and an OpenSky system(not monitorable).

If someone would clean this up, it would be appreciated....Mike

There are 3 other articles that also deserve a look related to the LCRA

Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA)/LCRA LIDs - The RadioReference Wiki

Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA)/LCRA Patches - The RadioReference Wiki

wiki.radioreference.com

Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA)/LCRA Unidentified TGs - The RadioReference Wiki

Add this to the list....I've created a good P25 Phase 2 article for this already - I just moved this page not knowing if it was still worth anything

I think the EDACS system has been switched to Opensky. I know that all the sites in my area have switched over to Opensky.

I'll let those that know better make the call - the unid talkgroups and patches articles have been linked to the article below. The talkgroups page mentions LIDs - I *think* that should be RID/UIDs but again I'll let those that know better make the call...

The P25 system is 700 and 800 mhz. the Opensky system is 900 mhz.

OK I'll fix it...Mike

Looking good so far. I will add my list of unid tgs.

Thanks

I've rescued the LCRA links that were in the original LCRA article (one was dead so that one wasn't moved) and the GATTRS links. I've applied them to both the Open Sky and P25 articles not knowing which would be relevant. The GATTRS database link is contained in the GATTRS article inside the infobox.

That's about as far as I can go. The rest is up to you folks...Mike

Thanks Mike I will try to keep it updated.

Why is LCRA involved with and collecting money from a city hundreds of miles from them? This city has a 700 system. This system is only used by the small city.

That's what happens when the LCRA Salesmen get in front of clueless decision makers. Let the customer pay for the infrastructure, then charge them full subscriber fees to use it, and let any non owner subscriber roam onto it. It's a great business model. Why own a product when you can buy it, and pay someone else for you to use it!

I take it you are talking about Nacogdoches? If so, yeah it is logistically crazy that they chose LCRA to manage the system for them being that the nearest TXWARN towers are within microwave range and fill a travel gap for local subscribers up US 59/69. However, LCRA probably underbid TXWARN, and so goes local government.
