Anyone know what Moore Schools Buses switched to? I was thinking maybe the Moore City NXDN, but don’t want to spend the money on the decoder until I can confirm where they went. Radio installed in the bus is Motorola and it has a “digital” sound.

Have you tried scanning new TGs on OKWIN? FD and PD use that. I would assume they would use okwin if they moved from what im assuming was a analog UHF channel(s) like most schools use.

Well, since my original post, I’ve learned it’s a Motorbo dual band XPR5550e radio. Only Public Safety on OKWIN that see. I’m going to do more digging from the computer when I get home from work. Looks like school maintenance is on DMR UHF and I would guess the buses moved there as well.

My original post asking if anyone knew where they changed to was because they no longer are on VHF analog. They've installed new radios in all of the buses last month. They have moved to the system I posted above. I have submitted a request to update the database.

The Admins should refuse your submission since you haven't personally heard them on those freqs, plus more info is needed for DMR freqs.

That was exactly what I did. I listened to the new frequency via analog and heard the noise. I was going to get the DMR key for my scanner, but instead decided to use my RTL-SDR. I have found and installed a plug-in upgrade to decode DMR for my SDR# program. I have been listening to the bus channel like I use to on their old VHF analog frequency. So, the old 153.260 mhz has changed to 462.100 mhz and is DMR.

Got the upgrade for my Bearcat scanner and can confirm the above. Thanks.
I have submitted a request to add that to the Database.
