From that location, I also heard this new system's CC a bit weaker:

WACN: 92777
SID: 003
RFSS: 1
Site: 1
NAC: 004
...
0-356 773.45685 scc
...

Not that it matters much, but I just saw a typo above. It should be:
0-356 773.45625 scc

Anyone note any activity on this system?

The system is a bit too weak for me to monitor.

Is the control channel still on the air?

Not that I can hear from my location.
I work occasionally in Huntington Beach on the water front, I should maybe try listening from there.
I only have first four frequencies but with post #2 there more I should program in?

Based on initial control channel reception we only have the four, but the license also has following four additional ones.

772.14375
772.61875
772.81875
773.20625

I've been listening all day on the 996P2 on the outside antenna and I got nothing. Hooked up the SDS100 to the same antenna and I get the control channel (769.10625), go figure.
I will keep an ear open for any traffic.

Spent some time down in Long Beach today and listened to the system. Zero voice traffic noted.
I also checked Port PD and they remain active on their regular UHF P25 channels.

Not surprising. It will happen but in a conversation with a fellow cohort of mine who's working on this project, they are building a simulcast system and they are still working out the finer details of tower space at several locations. Issues with engineering studies for microwave dishes, etc. have been burning up a lot of their time. Stay tuned...

I can confirm that the new system is now carrying Port PD traffic. The current Harris P25 system has been quiet for couple days but still on the air.

System ID: AB3
WACN: BEE00
RFSS: 1
Site: 1
NAC: AB1

769.10625 Primary Control Channel
770.31875 Secondary Control Channel
771.30625 Secondary Control Channel
771.68125 Secondary Control Channel
773.20625 Voice Channel

Talkgroup:
7000 - Port of Los Angeles PD
7017 - LAPD Channel 25 South Traffic Rebroadcast

Nice catch! Great signal from the north OC coastal area. TG 7003 is active this evening also. I'm going to let Unitrunker do its thing.

Picking up the CC from almost south of OC too. 5 bars. Must have a good straight shot to the repeater then.

Looks like a Motorola System if the WACN is showing BEE00. Harris WACN is always showing like its a Zip Code number looking WACN

Sorry I guess I must of mis read. Was the older trunk system a Harris and now the new one is a Motorola with the BEE00 WACN?

I just programmed this system and I am getting PORT PD Traffic. I do know its in TDMA Traffic for sure. Pikcing up PORT PD and LAPD S. Traffic. Pretty nice. Sounds good. Moto NAS on my 6000 sounds great in TDMA Traffic

Any 700 or 800 mhz System that is a Motorola Phase I FDMA or a Phase II TDMA TRS the Astro 25 Channel ID's are always listed like this above.

Hope that helps anybody. This system is using Channel ID 4 since its a 700 mhz Phase II TDMA.

Received a note that the older Harris system will remain for use by various port departments, while this new system will be solely for Port Police.

Accordingly, I will update the Db to differentiate the two systems as "Port of Los Angeles Operations", and "Port of Los Angeles Police"

Kindly submit any new TGs discovered on either system.
