Im pretty sure I figured out the problem. After searching for a bit I have found all of walker county now to have a control channle of, 853.90000 and an alternate channle of, 853.52500. I am hearing Walker County on these frequencies now instead of their old. Would this mean they rebanded?
I am using Pro96Com to look at the information on this system and I am getting the same info just different frequencies and info.
Frequencies found so far:
Control: 853.90000
Alternate: 853.52500
Voice Channle: 853.28750
Voice Channle: 852.81250
I will be submitting all of this to the database.
Why would they change frequencies??
It would appear your first guess, "rebanded", is what's happened.
The new control frequency of 853.9000 is 15MHz below the old one of 868.9000, same with the alternate (new 853.5250/old 868.5250). Generally speaking, when a system, or site, is 'rebanded', the frequencies in the 866 to 868MHz range are dropped down 15MHz.
While the database here does not yet reflect rebanding, the FCC
license shows it flipped to code YE (rebanded) on 11/17/2011. Probably both of the Walker County sites will be done, if that has not happened already. You're looking at the "East Walker County" site, have you also checked the "West"?
