Sean said he remembers clearing the channel data before monitoring. He'll check again tomorrow.
853.53125 is showing "Never" for first/last seen, which means it somehow made its way into UT aside from direct monitoring. Possibly a remnant from another site as an old peer control channel.

Which was my suspicion. Hence my shaming him into going back tomorrow. That's what older siblings are for... :LOL:

It would be nice if we had someone who lives in the area who would be able to leave Unitrunker or DSD+ running on the site for 24 hours so we get a clearer picture vs a few minutes of sitting in the car. All efforts are always appreciated, but some of these channels won't go active unless every other resource is first exhausted.

Per the little bro, Pluckemin (Site 60) now also showing as a peer to Martinsville. Submitted to the DB as it wasn't currently listed in Martinsville's details.

For whatever it's worth, ASTRO 25 adjacent sites are always reciprocal, no exceptions. If Site 28 is a peer of Site 60, then Site 60 must be a peer of Site 28.

Yup. Didn't even look to see if it was showing on Pluckemin's details when I submitted for him. Figured it was missing on both.

He's gonna join and do his own stuff sometime this weekend.

Also, is it confirmed that Pluckemin is up on the Vollers tower? Sean is saying sitting down at the gate on Old Stagecoach, he only had an RSSI of -45 to -41 with an antenna on his Airspy. I'd expect a lot better being that close to it.

Is that RSSI reading from Unitrunker 2.1? If so, that's actually a very strong signal, depending on what the gain was set at. For context, I have UT 2.1 running with an RTL dongle directly under an ASTRO 25 subsite, no more than 250' from the TX antennas, and RSSI is right around -50 with the gain turned down to 9. If I leave the unified gain at the default of 17 out of 21, I can get the RSSI as high as -28, but not much higher.

This is the original submission, and the coordinates have not changed since the site was added.

Yes, he's using 2.1.35, Airspy with the gain at 10. Guess I was just expecting differently from my experiences. Thanks for the note @GTR8000. I'm such a pain in your ass...lol. Sorry man!

I keep Unitrunker running on UC Simulcast full time back home and I've been watching remotely all day. This has been going on since 06:00. Either a wiseguy or something is messed up.

RID: 1
Union County Simulcast

Also Hunterdon County (Site 2) is no longer showing as a peer to Union County (Site 7). Bordentown, Pluckemin, and West Trenton are missing as peers to UC in the database. I'll submit in a few days when I can confirm it's not a temporary change or glitch.

Hunterdon peers (matches listing in the RRDB)

I don't know why Union County and West Trenton would be peers, that's odd.

There you go. Want me to submit?
The list of peers for Hunterdon matches what it already in the RRDB (I edited my post after you replied).

The peer list for Union County doesn't make much sense. Why would Bordentown and West Trenton be peers of that site?

Union County is still showing Hunterdon as a peer in the database, which is why I was inquiring as to a submission.

As to the list, not sure, but I cleared the peers on start like always. I thought it was weird also, which is why I mentioned holding off. Possible Unitrunker issue of some kind? I mean, I wouldn't think so, but... (shrug)

Sean and I thank @GTR8000 for all his help bringing things up to date. Ain't just a spectator sport. Someone's gotta get out there and check the stuff.

Man you really hate that spot. lol.

Yeah we confirmed it's definitely not a glitch, the peer list being populated is legit. It's just...strange. I almost wondering if this is something to do with some type of planned realignments or something? Guess we'll see what happens or if it changes back.
