Do you have the callsign? I haven't seen anything in the weekly licenses check I run.

I've programed new digital system freqs in my scanners as analog freqs many times. When your scanner starts making a bunch of digital noise on those freqs you know that new digital system in on the air; then you can bring up your software to get the information you need to program a digital scanner. 👍👍

Had PROSCAN running today. This is what I've found.
Spring Valley ---> CC 11 Hennipen ---> CC 10 Granville ---> CC 12.
Nothing for the Magnolia tower.
Also, I know the FCC ID probably lists tower sites by local cities, but the locals know the Granville tower as "Clearview" and the Spring Valley tower as "Fox Run". Just a little tidbit of information.

As of now, just 2000 coming over. Have my radio programmed to "ID Search". I'll let it burn overnight and tomorrow while I'm at work and see if anything else comes across. I'll report back when I have more info or more time. Starting 12 hour shifts tomorrow at work.

Been logging on Proscan. No new talkgroups and still nothing on the Magnolia tower.

I have also just noticed that I'm not receiving anything from the Spring Valley (Fox Run) tower anymore. All signals have come from the Hennepin tower and Granville (Clearview) tower. Apparently the system is not 100% operational yet.

Is PCSO actively using this system or is it just being tested? I still hear them being doing everything over VHF channels?

Does anyone know if the talkgroup is simulcasted across all towers on this new system?

The only towers that are up on the Putnam County DMR system right now are Hennepin and Clearview/Granville, and it is only the sheriff's department. EMS and fire are still using analog sites on VHF at Hennepin and Magnolia.
EDIT: And yes, it is simulcasting on both towers at this time.

Are thoose 2 sites linked or should I put both in? Also is the slot changing constantly? I'm trying to program this into a XPR.

I am listening on a Uniden BCD996P2 with a DMR upgrade. I do not know if the slot is changing. Right now, I have the Clearview tower programmed in to an analog group to speed up scanning. It still comes through because I have the DMR upgrade. I'll switch it over to the DMR system I have programmed and hook it up to Proscan again to see what comes up.
