Alright, I'm stumped.
451.925 in Morehouse Parish
451.725 in Franklin Parish
Both WQXR393 Northeast Louisiana Power Co-Op. I haven't confirmed the West Carroll frequency yet, it's probably the same as ours (451.925). It's a single frequency DMR belonging to that company for sure. However, it is constantly broadcasting like a control channel would for CON+ TRBO. The status indicator on my radios flashes DMR and Slot 1 then Slot 2. It used to flash between DMR and CAP+ but it doesn't anymore. DMR conventional channels that I'm used to monitoring only are transmitting when the channel is active; just like a non-digital conventional frequency. These constantly transmit data and flash different indicators like my scanners don't know what to do with it. The following is what I know:
It's a single frequency multi site system with constant data like a CON+ TRBO or P25 control channel.
4 different scanners used to show "DMR", then flash "DMR"/"CAP+", recently back to "DMR "Slot 1 / Slot 2. Without voice.
Non-DMR equipped scanner just shows digital noise at all times.
With Bastrop, Oak Grove, and Winnsboro units/offices talking to each other. The range is less than 10mi so the sites have to be linked.
Programmed as MOTOTRBO: Nothing
Programmed as DMR OFT: Activity when in use showing UID/Talkgroups (just one so far) slot number and CC like any other TRBO system.
Programmed as Conventional: Activity at all times. Signal with DMR and alternating Slot1/Slot to indicators when idle. Full UID/TG/CC info when in use.
What kind of system is this? I've never heard of "linked multi-site DMR conventional" that still transmits data like a control channel. I almost see the exact same thing on a Shreveport Communications system in Richland with 452.1125 This one however has two talkgroups and several other frequencies attached to it. I'm not close enough to monitor at all times.
Thanks!
