Two possibilities in your area that were LTR-NET users: Central Valley (Illion) and South Lewis (Turin).

Thanks for the tips. From the audio cues today, I confirmed TG 48 is indeed the Central Valley CSD.

Another new site: 99 Scio WQZQ473 160.860 CC. Now on the Site 2 Neighbor List.
This is a "fill in" site on the Scio School like Site 110 at Interlaken so doubtful it can be heard out of the area.

A new TG active on S Bristol that is not school buses! TG104 "Truck 6" & "Truck 10", appears to be construction or public works. Only heard twice, about an hour apart, when trucks were apparently arriving a job site. Talking about where to turn around each time and potholes.

I finally got a positive ID on TG18! Mentioned Coburn and Diven Elementary Schools. It is Elmira City School District.

I picked up traffic from TG 92 this morning. They seem to be a tow-truck company and sounded as if they were repossessing vehicles. Any ideas who these folks are?

I just got another new TG on S Bristol. TG 91 is a school but it is Admin and Maintenance, not buses. Mostly talking about cleaning tasks. This is unusual on the VHF system. Most school admin stuff is on the UHF school campus systems that are on-site coverage only.

I suspect it may be a small school, like TG 35 Bus/TG 41 Admin for Hannibal, that does not need a separate UHF system.

I got a positive ID on TG 73 as Bath School District. Radio Aliases: "Bath Base 1" & "Bath Base 2".

New unID School Bus TGs in Steuben/Allegany County area: 62, 66, 89. I suspect TG 33 is Wayland-Cohocton but most activity heard seems to be special BOCES runs and unit said "before I head down to Hornell". Nothing mentions any address or school in their district. Only heard intermittently, probably when a unit is in a high location and affiliates with S Bristol. Canaseraga CSD is also a possibility since the TG seems to be consistently present on Dansville where I can't track voice activity.

You can disregard 66, it is Adirondack CSD. Distant districts sometimes show up on S Bristol since the site is near the Mobiletech shop and they may be doing testing.

It looks like TG 33 is Avoca CSD which is adjacent to Wayland-Cohocton and between there and the Hornell district.

Bus just asked about "drop kids off in Howard" and yesterday they mentioned "Mr Deneker" who is Avoca Grade 7-12 Principal

Got one more TG this afternoon. TG 26 is Leland Harris School Bus, Inc. They are one of the Elmira CSD contractors that are on TG15 but they apparently also serve other districts in the Lindley area and this is their company garage TG.

What radios are they using on the system?
I believe they are Kenwood NX series but I don't know specific model numbers.

The old LTR-NET system used Kenwood TK- x80 & x180 radios with custom firmware. This system seems to be standard Kenwood Nexedge.

Talk Group 56 appeared on the Pulaski site yesterday and today. The radio IDs come across as Custodial 10 and 12. Most of the conversations are pretty casual. I'll check the other local sites to see if there is more traffic from this TG.

There are a few LTR sites out west that haven't been converted to NXDN yet, or at least no one has reported them converted. Check the LTR system in the database and start to pay attention to those frequencies. You can also look through the Mobiletech/Terry Pfeiffer licenses for NXDN emissions being added, however last time I looked they were still NFM.

I don't see any pending FCC applications for that area. You should be able to receive the Arkwright and possibly the Attica site in Fort Erie.

As of last night, they were still LTR-Net, I've been watching. Seeing how there really aren't any users in the Erie/Niagara area on the LTR-Net, I would think that it would be low on the priority list to upgrade/update those

Yeah I figured as much. That area is Saia/FM Communications country much moreso than Mobiletech, so I'm sure those sites are at the bottom of the priority list to convert to NXDN.
