I ride a coach bus from Winnemucca to the Phoenix mine site and am trying to figure out how the drivers talk to the dispatcher in Winnemucca from the mine site. Nevada Shared Radio System and the Nevada Shared Radio System (P25) are the only systems I know of that have repeaters that would reach between the two sites. Anyone have knowledge of what to look into?

Are the buses operated by a private company? Can you see the radio type and model? Best guess it’s a DMR repeater??

Lots of ways to do this.
There are companies that run wide area commercial LMR systems for such an application.
Many users are going to LTE based radios.
Pictures of the radios/antennas would give us a clue.

Looks to be UHF DMR.
They may have their own repeater or repeaters, or using a service provided by one of the radio shops.

Mototrbo perhaps? Could be VHF/UHF/800-900? Buses and distance I'd lean VHF or UHF.

The Phoenix Gold Mine runs a multi-site UHF DMR network.
I would suspect the shuttle buses operate on this system.

What is the name of the bus company?
I may need to reword my question. I have them programed as a conventional system since I don't know what order to program the frequencies to have them work correctly in a DMR system. I know what I do hear has a color code as CC1. I don't have any talkgroup info for any of the mines around. I have all the mines Radio Reference has in the data base for Northern Nevada. What I am wondering if anyone knows what repeater system they are using in order to have contact over a large area.

KT Coach contracts for transportation to most of the mines. It operates a conventional system, not trunked. The system is not DMR.
This is out of Radio References data base. Still, if it is a conventional system, and not DMR, good for me. My only question, that I asked at the beginning of this Forum. Dose anyone know what repeater system (If any) are they using to be able to reach so far?

FCC database shows 462.175 at Winnemucca Mtn and 463.475 at Mt Lewis near to the gold mine. Radio reference database shows DMR, but FCC database shows NFM only. It's a tossup. Quite often, a business will change emission type without first seeking approval from FCC.
Thank you.

Did you find the frequencies yet?
I have the frequencies, I am wondering how the radios reach so far? It has to be a repeater system but I can't find it. I talked to a bus driver and they stated they can talk to Elko dispatch from Winnemucca.
This looks like a Motorola TLK150.
According to the DB here that would make sense. RR shows it DMR with multiple sites.
