Mathews County - Anyone Have a DMR Update?

[dtscho]

Mathews County is using DMR now on their VHF frequencies, but we never definitively got an update for the database (we're still showing a single analog repeater for sheriff, and a single analog repeater for fire/rescue). There are two threads from a few years ago about this. Has anyone been monitoring, or willing to take a trip over there? I strongly suspect they have their three sites setup in a MOTOTRBO IP Site Connect configuration. Here are the sites/repeaters, according to the license:

Cobbs Creek (northern part of county): 155.1825, 155.7075
Mathews (central part of county): 155.6100, 155.9250, 156.1125
New Point (southern part of county): 151.3175, 158.8200

We need color codes, slots, and talkgroups for the frequencies. Thanks in advance if anyone's got information or can get it.

I may be heading up there this weekend, last time I was there about 2 weeks ago fire was still using non DMR

Do you remember which frequencies? Did you get CTCSS/DCS tones? Thanks.

I'll be up in Middlesex later this month for work. No guarantees I'll have tons of time, but can take a listen during downtown to see what I can find. As Mike mentioned, fire was analog when I was there in the beginning of August.

Ok, my trip to Mathews was productive, Dave I believe you are correct IP Site Connect, When Units And Dispatcher transmits All 3 frequencies go active Same CC Slot and TG

DSD plus showed DMR BS DCC:1

Thank you for confirming all this. It's been added to the database.

Forgive me for what might be a silly question, but how should these two systems be programmed? I imported from the DB, but am not getting any traffic at all.

 

[Webodisk]

They are not very active, but for lack of a better explanation I set it up like 6 single channel repeaters and I have heard coms on my TRX-1 and G5

 

[trainman111]

Okay, so you did not set it up as a single channel DMR trunk system?

 

[Webodisk]

Nope, that way any where I am in the county it receives, But when I am in Yorktown I just scan the New point site
