MRC Tier III data findings

[mbstone99]

I was up in the the Tri Cities yesterday and came across these. Unfortunately, I didn't have my laptop with me to get the correct Net/Site info. These three frequencies are licensed to MRC and 2 of them (the possible Wilmot and Cambridge sites) are already part of FleetConnect system as well. So could this be part of the new TRBO Connect system?

Net 6 Site 2 420.8500 CC 6, Licensed in Wilmot?
Net 6 Site 4 420.1375 CC 6, Licensed in Arthur?
Net 6 Site 12 422.7875 CC 6, Licensed in Cambridge?

I think your on the right track there, Matt. I imagine they're beginning to expand this system from west to east. Where any TG's noted?

I didn't see any active TG's when I was scanning.

It looks like Puslinch's site is also being upgraded to T3 as well.
420.1125 dt3 net 6 site 9 cc 6

Looking at the Hamilton site which is still using the Con+ I am only seeing now Site 10 (Milton), 12 (Toronto), 13 (King City) & 15 (Wilmot) as neighbours. The Con+ for Fonthill is still there but not listed as neighbour on Hamilton's site but Fonthill's neighbours are Site 10 (Milton) & 11 (Hamilton).

After running DSDPlus using an RTL-SDR I am seeing DMR Tier III on 420.1125. 420.1125 used to be a control channel for the DMR ConnectPlus system on the Puslinch site (Site 19).

Frequency: 420.1125
Protocol: DMR TIII (Capacity Max as per messages on SDR-Trunk)
Current Network: L7
Current Site: 7-2.2

 

[CDTbolt10033]

I am seeing DMR Tier III on some of the FleetConnect sites' other control channel.
Here is what I found out:

DMR Tier III Sites:
Network: L7
Color Code: 6

Site L7-1.3: 420.850, (422.7625 ?) - Unknown

Site: L7-1.4: 420.225 (Fergus)

Site L7-1.5: 420.0375 - Unknown

Site L7-2.2: 420.1125 (Puslinch)

1.3 may be Wilmot and 1.5 may be Arthur. I'm receiving 420.5875 (Brisbane) from Toronto. Heard a bit of voice on 420.9875 (also Brisbane)
If you can get some LSN and other data, I could stage a new trunk system and release it when it goes live.

 

[CDTbolt10033]

The system is Capacity Max.
Here are the decoded messages from SDR-Trunk from 420.850 MHz (L7-1.3)
I am unsure why but SDR-Trunk is not trunk-tracking that system for some reason it just shows idle.
I am unsure if this is useful or not.

 

[mciupa]

The LSN's and LCN's are very helpful. Thanks!

In the configuration of that trunked system in SDRTRunk you can modify something about CRC errors. You should do that, so that the logs stop reporting CRC errors.

From your information, this is what I have so far:

MRC Systems Trunking System, Multiple Locations, Ontario

If I could get the Brisbane Site number, (possibly Site 10) I'll add that too.

 

[phyberoptics]

Brisbane is Site 10 420.5875
DSD+ is showing this as TIII (Mot) Network 6, not sure if I have something configured incorrectly.

Hillsburgh is Site 11, 420.6875

 

[CDTbolt10033]

As shown by SDR-Trunk
Puslinch Site:
420.1125 - LCN 4094
420.1125 - LCN 512
418.3625 - LCN 496
418.3625 - LCN 3302

I ran this through SDR-Trunk which is showing this network as 6, not 7 while monitoring Site 10. Am I missing something?

It may be just DSD saying its Network 7. I get Network 6 on SDR-Trunk decoding the Puslinch site as well.

DSD shows 6 as well.

Looks like Erin Fire is already on the new system. TG 16001

Can you hear it, and if so, what is the program you are using? I am having no luck using SDR-Trunk/DSDPlus to decode the Puslinch site group calls.

 

[phyberoptics]

Yes, I had some great decodes using DSD+ Fastlane.
