A few months ago, a little birdie told me that the City of Lubbock was adding 5 more frequencies to their EDACS system. I researched it and found the following 5 frequencies listed under the callsign WPFW709 that were not part of the 20 frequencies used for the EDACS system.
1: 855.4625
2: 855.7125
3: 857.4375
4: 858.4375
5: 860.9875 data channel
I put these frequencies into my scanner as conventional frequencies and have been hearing traffic on the first four frequencies. The fifth one I have listed, 860.9875 is some kind of data channel. When my scanner locks up on one of the first four frequencies, I can hit scan again and my scanner will then lock up on a fleet code for whoever is talking at that instant. Then, checking the frequency being used for that fleet code at that moment, it will show one of the 20 frequencies that ARE listed as part of the EDACS system. My question is what is going on here with transmitting simultaneously on one of the first four frequencies I have listed above and one of the 20 frequencies that are part of the EDACS system.
Another mystery: By going to the FCC database via the Lubbock County page on RR, the above 5 frequencies are listed as being part of the callsign WPFW709. But if you go to the main database page and enter the above frequencies individually to see who uses them in the state of Texas, none of the 5 frequencies comes up as being used in Lubbock.
Anyone know what's going on?
