Mid-Atlantic Digital Radio network - Connect Plus system 141

[mtindor]

I guess whoever put the MADRN T3 System together on the Database side, missed the above statement where MADRN specifically states one voice, why are we making it two separate systems?

I don't get this; can someone please explain?

This is NOT a divorce from Goosetown. I'll be utilizing some freqs currently in use for OneVoice, but that system will be strategically rebuilt after this project is transitioned and complete.

I thought @MADRN explained it pretty well. He didn't state that this new system is Onevoice. He states that this new system is using some frequencies from the corresponding Onevoice sites that are at the same locations, and that after this new project is transitioned and completed he will strategically rebuild the Onevoice portion. Sounds to me like there will be sites that are / will continue to be part of Onevoice and then sites that will be completely separate (this Motorola CAPMAX system that we have called Mid-Atlantic Digital Radio Network (Tier 3)).

Of course we took the liberty of calling it Mid-Atlantic Digital Radio network (Tier 3) because it apppears to be an update of the original MADRN system, both of which seem to be collaborations Between Triangle Communications and Centre Commucations.

If this new CAPMAX system is actually going to have a different name, we here at RR are not aware of it yet. So we presume it's basically replacing the MADRN CON+ system. That may not be totally true. But we are working with what we have. Based upon what @MADRN has said, we are confident that this is not part of Onevoice and is a separate system.

Bummage. I seem to have a knack for making people disgruntled

I deleted because after I wrote it, I reread the post, I am not disgruntled.

I still think we are wrong and I still believe it is a part of the OneMax system, I thought he was talking about rebuilding the current MADRN CON+ system

Assuming that you're referring to this new Tier 3 system L8, then no, it's not part of the OneVoice MAX system. It's a separate system for a specific purpose. They are merely "borrowing" frequencies from their OneVoice MAX sites to get it up and running quickly.

As MADRN stated and mtindor reiterated: I'll be utilizing some freqs currently in use for OneVoice

That's it, cut and dry.

I check these daily. 206 comes and goes for me. I'm tuned to 454.24375 now and DSD+ caught CC0 so looks like Reading PA OneVoice Max made the transition. Error rates are too high at the moment for a reliable decode. Will report additional changes if I notice any.

If you have a high confidence level that this is Reading, please submit

When I'm closer to the area I'll see if the signal is any stronger then submit

I was able to monitor L8-38 for a bit today. Looks like it may have neighbors.

2026/05/25 12:50:59 Freq=452.825000 Current network: L8 Mid-Atlantic Digital Radio Network TIII (L8)
2026/05/25 12:50:59 Freq=452.825000 Current site: L8-38 Williamsport

2026/05/25 12:51:01 Freq=452.825000 DCC=0 RAS L8-38 neighbor: Site L8-40; CC=1

2026/05/25 12:51:17 Freq=452.825000 DCC=0 RAS L8-38 neighbor: Site L8-41; CC=1

Maybe I'll get back sometime when there's more activity.

L8-39 would appear to be..
Harrisburg/Dauphin PA (WHP/Blue Mt)
LSN 739

454.600000

369

Color Code 0

If anyone can confirm it..

Turns out L8-39 is likely York..
It's on air. Just need to confirm location.

List of neighbors?

i see where 454.600 is a CC on Harrisburg (141) but also a CC on York (Onevoice). So you might be right about it being York, since @MADRN suggested he was taking frequencies from the Onevoice sites. They are far enough of away from most people monitoring sites, yet close to each other though that confirmation of location is important.

I was out with sds100 for short drive, I'll have to take road trip with pc in tow to confirm. H3-193 appears offline with L8-39 in its place, same as H3-203.
Unless somebody closer wishes to find it..

Trying to reconfirm as many MADRN sites while I can as long as skip conditions are favorable. For Site 1 Harrisburg North, control channel has changed from what's RRDB documented & a channel or two have been removed from the rotation. Will make the submission shortly...


Looks like 463.500 may be the new CC for Site 2 Cornwall. @u2brent is that close to you? Can you verify active channels? Not a strong enough signal for me

454.625 appears to be Site 60's new control channel in Tremont. 464.6375 may no longer be active here...

I can confidently confirm after observing morning rush traffic here for an hour that 454.600 is no longer in the rotation at Harrisburg. Unfortunately the control signal on 454.6125 is waning for me

Anybody reading this from State College / Boalsburg area? If so, can you check for a signal on 454.075. It should come up as L8-43. DSDplus would be the preferred method to sleuth it, and you an gather the neighbors with it as well. (Historically, I can't ever remember somebody from that area submitting DMR stuff - but I'm hoping).

That's right on the edge of what I can hear from here. A quick tune to that frequency on an analog receiver, I hear what sounds like a DMR control channel, let me look into it later this afternoon and see if there's anything there I can decide.

Alrighty. Sounds good. If you can't get it during a typical day, you may be able to get it early in the morning (if you are around) via some tropo. There always seems to be a slight tropo enhancement in the summer, hotter days -- even though you really see great tropo with temperature inversions.

I appreciate the effort!

Ok so this is interesting, 464.075 is showing up as CC0, CapMax L1-43. Neighbors are 40, 41, 42, 44, 45, and 46, with 46 being the only giving a valid LCN (3057) and CH ID (6115). Checked it several times and got the same thing each time, only way I got any decode was holding a small 6 element beam out the upstairs window, any (even the slightest) change in height or direction from the one sweet spot I could find lost it.
