Hey I need some help figuring out which freqs. to program in my BCT-15 to pick up PSO in Lawton. And I guess I don't fully understand how to program the EDACS system. I'll start from the top I guess the PSO page doesn't show it has any freqs. in Lawton. And PSO is not 10 miles from my house so I know they got something here. here's the page http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&sid=2213
Need help with PSO EDACS for Lawton

Looks like you might get to submit some info if you can figure it out...
Frequencies seems to be blanket licensed - there are a LOT (43) licensed for that site:

You might just scan through those and see if you hear anything. Another (better) way would be to get a control channel decoder working (like etrunk or Unitrunker). There are lots of threads on it, and more info in the Wiki. I can help if you have specific questions also. Once you find the control channel, these will tell you if there is activity going on for that system. Once you know that, it's MUCH easier to figure out active channels and corresponding LCNs.

As mam1081 mentioned, for each site PSO has, every single frequency they own is attributed to that site. Why?
Sloppy/lazy application processor? Convenience of swapping frequencies? Who knows!
Even though PSO is an awful mess, is not impossible to figure out.
To rehash mam1081 .. plug all of the frequencies into a bank and start scanning. Make note of which ones are control channels and lock them out. The goal here is to find out which ones are in use for voice. Once those are known, then we can start working on determining LCN's. That is the hard part. eTrunker and UniTrunker will help make the job easier, but it does require two radios and listening time. One to decode the control channel and the other to monitor voice so as to match it up to an LCN.
Fish some frequencies out first and we'll go from there!

If you can figure out the active freqs for that site, post them on here. It might be worth a drive down there with a mobile etrunk set-up. If you could narrow down the list, it would make my trip easier and quicker...:wink:
I'd be pretty suprised if there was a lot of traffic on it though - the OG&E EDACS and ONG Motorola 900 up here is pretty quiet usually - maybe 4-6 converstations per hour (or maybe I'm not listening at the right time).
